## Abstract Experiments conducted over a flat uniform ploughed field indicate that the small convective plumes commonly observed in the surface layer travel as an entity with horizontal speeds proportional to the friction velocity, __u__. This proportionality, in turn, implies a direct relationship

The vertical velocity field and the convective plumes in the atmospheric boundary layer have been observed during morning hours with the acoustic Doppler sounder of the C.R.P.E. A method for plume determination using acoustic soundings in the well-mixed layer is presented. Using Telford's 1970 and M
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
