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

An analysis was performed of experimental data obtained at fixed ship stations during AMTEX 1974 and 1975. This allowed the calculation of the bulk transfer relationships for water vapor and sensible heat in the atmospheric boundary layer for different interpretations of the thickness scale of the b
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
