The fluctuating lift and drag acting on a circular cylinder in a flow of an incompressible fluid at large Reynolds numbers were measured. Data on the root-mean-square values of the lift and drag coefficients, the extreme values of these coefficients, and their power spectra at various Reynolds numbers are presented.
