ON SIMILARITY AND THE TURBULENT STRUCTURE IN THE STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER

In the stably stratified boundary layer,the vertical flux profiles for momentum and heat can be obtained from an atmospheric boundary layer model which includes parameterization of the long-wave radiation.In addition,the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory can be extended to the whole boundary layer by using the local turbulent scales L(z),U*(z)and 0*(z) in place of surface layer scales.The similarity predictions are in good agreement with observational data.
