โฆ Synopsis
A bulk boundary-layer model is developed to predict surface fluxes and conditions in the well-mixed layer between the surface and the lower troposphere. The model includes the effects of all the dominant processes, including advection, in a dry boundary layer. The numerical model is compared with theoretical predictions for the growth of an internal boundary layer, and it is used to simulate the generation of a sea breeze by the diurnal cycle of radiative heating.

A moving-grid finite-element model has been developed to model numerically the vertically integrated properties of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in one dimension. The model equations for mean wind velocity and potential temperature are combined with a surface energy budget and predictive equa
## Abstract This study examines the influence of weak horizontal advections of momentum on a wellโmixed planetary boundary layer. In the simple flow system examined, the direction and magnitude of flow modifications depend on the Rossby number, the nondimensional surface drag coefficient and the or
