A similarity theory for the atmospheric boundary layer is presented. The Monin-Obukhov similarity theory for the surface layer is a particular case of this new theory, for the case of z-0. Universal functions which are in agreement with empirical data are obtained for the stable and convective regim

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
## Abstract An advanced similarity‐theory formulation for the wind and temperature profiles in the stably stratified atmospheric surface layer (ASL) is developed with due regard to the effect of the free‐flow static stability on the ASL. In the revised log‐linear profiles, empirical coefficients tr
## Abstract The behaviour of structure parameters, relating turbulence properties to other turbulence properties, has been determined from atmospheric surface layer data obtained over both land and ocean. The ratio of momentum flux to turbulence energy is found to decrease significantly as the inst
