✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Observations of the convective boundary layer over southern England using an instrumented light aircraft and radio‐sondes enable its structure and development to be described for two periods of active, shallow convection. Budgeting is used to deduce the sensible heat flux as a function of height, showing a downward flux in the upper part of the boundary layer associated with entrainment of warmer air from above. For the two occasions studied results indicate that the entrained sensible heat flux is about 0·3 of the sensible heat flux at the ground. For one of the occasions a moisture budget was possible yielding a value of the mean latent heat flux at the ground.

A simple model is deduced for the surface layer of a convective boundary layer for zero mean wind velocity over homogeneous rough ground. The model assumes large-scale convective circulation driven by surface heat flux with a flow pattern as it would be obtained by conditional ensemble averages. The
