✦ Synopsis

An indirect method of estimating the surface heat flux from observations of vertical velocity variance at the lower mid-levels of the convective atmospheric boundary layer is described. Comparison of surface heat flux estimates with those from boundary-layer heating rates is good, and this method seems to be especially suitable for inhomogeneous terrain for which the surface-layer profile method cannot be used.

The problem of the chemically equilibrium three-dimensional boundary layer on a blunt body which is in motion in the atmosphere is considered. A solution of the system of equations of the boundary layer is found by the method of successive approximations, and simple analytic expressions are written
