| Abstract: | The steady-state, homogeneous and barotropic equations of motion within the planetary boundary layer are solved with the assumption that the coefficient of eddy viscosity varies as K(Z) = K
O(1–Z/h)
p
, where h is the height of the bounday layer and p is a parameter which depends on atmospheric stability. The solutions compare favourably with observed velocity profiles based on the Wangara data. |
