Abstract

In a previous paper (Smith 1955), the problem of the resultant theoretical velocity field that arises from the diurnal variation of heating of a land mass with an initially stationary air mass was considered. The present paper considers the same problem with an initial overall velocity. Henceforth the first paper (Smith 1955) will be referred to as Part I.

The same heat function is used as in Part I for the time and horizontal variations, but the vertical variation is amended for closer approximation to the different circumstances. The difficulty of the boundary condition at infinite height is overcome by associating the solutions with those of Pt. I.

The resulting surface temperatures and vertical velocities at different times are shown in tables and graphs.

## Abstract The velocity field of a stable atmosphere over and around a heated land mass is found, as a function of both time and distance, by consideration of the equations of motion, continuity and added heat. A heat function is introduced, in the last of these, which is not only fairly simple ma

## Abstract Observations from many sources have been brought together to study the relationship between the ratio of standard deviation of vertical velocity to friction velocity, and __z/L__ where __z__ is the height and __L__ the Monin‐Obukhov length. A good compromise for this relationship is:
