## Abstract The evolution of the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer during the cooling phase of the diurnal cycle is studied with the help of a oneβdimensional numerical model. The model uses a turbulent energy equation for the determination of the eddy exchange coefficients, which also in

Two formulations of the stable atmospheric boundary layer are proposed for use in weather forecasting or climate models. They feature the log-linear profile near the surface, but are free from the associated critical Richardson number. The diffusion coefficients in the Ekman layer are a natural exte
A discussion of the cross-spectral properties of eddies in the lowest 40m of the nocturnal boundary layer is presented. The study involves the analysis of meteorological data collected by the British Antarctic Survey at Halley Station, Antarctica, during the austral winter of 1986. Cross-spectral an
## Abstract The dynamics of largeβscale, horizontal roll vortices in the neutral planetary boundary layer are investigated by means of a twoβdimensional numerical model. The rolls are assumed to be twoβdimensional and are calculated explicitly, while smallβscale turbulence is parametrized by a mixi
The structure of nocturnal inversions in the first 300 m of the atmosphere is analyzed using observational data from the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO) from March through June 1981. The temperature profiles show more than one inversion layer 41% of the time during the observational period. Th
A two-dimensional planetary boundary-layer model is employed to simulate numerically observed temperature and humidity profiles of an airflow over the Argentine continental shelf. Predicted profiles satisfactorily agree with observed ones which are characterized by a stable boundary layer.
