A class of second-order asymptotically stationary random fields is shown to contain the class of almost harmonisable random fields. A continuity theorem which leads to the spectral representation for the covariance function of asymptotically stationary random fields is established. A mean ergodic theorem for the fields is also given. When stationarity is assumed, the results reduce to the well-known corresponding theorems for stationary random fields.
