Abstract

Recently, the equilibrium height of the stable boundary layer received much attention in a series of papers by Zilitinkevich and coโ€workers. In these studies the stable boundaryโ€layer height is derived in terms of inverse interpolation of different boundaryโ€layer height scales, each representing a prototype boundary layer. As an alternative we propose an inverse interpolation of the eddy diffusivities for each prototype before applying the definition of the Ekman layer depth. The new equation for the stable boundaryโ€layer height improves performance in a comparison against four observational datasets. Copyright ยฉ 2007 Royal Meteorological Society

Jackson and Hunt's (1975) equation for the depth of the inner layer of flows over low hills does not depend on any closure assumption as contrarily supposed in literature. This equation contains a constant which can arbitrarily be specified. It is suggested that this 'inner-layer constant' should b
