โœฆ Synopsis

From sodar measurements gathered during the Voves experiment (France, summer 1977), the variations of the temperature structure parameter C$were studied in the morning planetary boundary layer. Dimensionless profiles of C$ are consistent with the mixed-layer scaling of Kaimal et al. (1976); however, for z < 0,s zi, the decrease of C', as z -4'3 should be weighted according to Frisch and Ochs (1975).

When the final breakup of the nocturnal inversion is achieved, the variations of the maximum of the C', profile are in good agreement with those predicted by Wyngaard and Le Mone (1980). Discrepancies are observed mainly when the mixed layer is shallow and mechanical turbulence is important compared with buoyancy-driven turbulence.

The morning development of the daytime convective boundary layer (CBL) during fine weather has been observed with an acoustic D2pler sodar of the C.R.P.E. In particular, the vertical profile of the vertical velocity third-order statistic W" has been obtained. This quantity is a maximum near 0.32, wh
