Given a velocity fieldu(x,t), we consider the evolution of a passive tracergoverned bywith time-independent sourceg(x). Whenis small in some sense, Batchelor, Howells and Townsend (J Fluid Mech 5:134, 1959) predicted that the tracer spectrum scales as. In this paper we prove that, for random synthetic two-dimensional incompressible velocity fieldsu(x,t) with given energy spectra, this scaling does indeed hold probabilistically, asymptotically almost surely for large |k| and small. We also propose an asymptotic correction factor to the BHT scaling arising from the time-dependence ofu.
