## Abstract The efficacy of a simple encroachment model of mixed‐layer growth is explored by simulating two disparate days of the Wangara Experiment. The inclusion of thermal winds is shown to be essential if temperature, height and vector wind of the mixed layer are to be predicted with accuracy.

Nondimensional parameters characteristic of the outer part of the planetary boundary layer have been determined by fitting a simple, Ekman-type theory to a number of averaged, observed velocity distributions, using the Wangara data of Clarke et al. (1971). The theoretical model is based on constant
## Abstract This study investigates the Large‐Eddy Simulation (LES) technique in the diurnally varying atmospheric boundary layer in conditions of realistic environmental forcing. The initial settings of meteorological fields are obtained by ‘ingesting’ into the LES domain the vertical profiles of
