✦ Synopsis

A stable boundary layer is investigated in terms of local similarity theory. A study is based on a set of seven runs from the BAO tower (Colorado, U.S.A.). It is shown that a theoretical prediction of constant-with-height similarity functions applies only to ensemble-averaged quantities. Scatter of observational data is analysed.

The local similarity theory, presented in the recent papers of Sorbjan (1986a, b), is extended by taking into consideration spectral (u, o, w, 0) and cospectral (uw, ~0, ~0) densities in the stable-continuous boundary layer. The resulting universal expressions for spectra, cospectra and the reduced

Simulated data derived from random numbers are used to show that the process of relating u& and similar properties to the stability parameter z/L is highly susceptible to error. An alternative method, making use of Ri as a stability index, is not affected in this way and is used to re-examine the da
