✦ Synopsis

Mean profiles ofvirtual potential temperature, specific humidity, and the wind velocity components are obtained from aircraft data taken during the NORPAX trans-equatorial shuttle over the Pacific Ocean. The resulting parameters are used to calculate the similarity functions A, B, C, and D. These agree well with similarity functions obtained for the tropical Atlantic Ocean using GATE data . The similarity function A for wind speed over the tropical oceans is in good agreement with values obtained over land at higher latitudes. The tropical temperature and humidity functions, C and D, are lower than those obtained at higher latitudes, becoming negative as h/( -L) --f 0.

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
