The stochastic structure of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence is studied in terms of its climacogram. A stochastic model is presented and tested over observational data of different scales and isotropy ratios. Observational data include solar wind, atmospheric wind velocities, laboratory scale wind velocities and turbulent buoyant jet concentrations. Theoretical expressions of the spectrum, structural and autocorrelation functions produced directly from the model show good agreement with data and differences from the existing models of turbulence.
