Abstract

Observations from many sources have been brought together to study the relationship between the ratio of standard deviation of vertical velocity to friction velocity, and z/L where z is the height and L the Monin‐Obukhov length. A good compromise for this relationship is:
where Ο•~M~ is the normalized wind shear.

This equation has been combined with theoretical expressions for the wind profile to derive a nomogram for the standard deviation of vertical angle as function of z/L and z/z~0~, where z~0~ is the roughness length.

## Abstract A comparison is made between vertical temperature profiles obtained concurrently from land and lake stations about one‐half mile apart. Tethered balloons were used to support modified radiosondes up to 1,000ft. The results of 46 ascents are time‐grouped to show significant differences b

## Abstract In a previous paper (Smith 1955), the problem of the resultant theoretical velocity field that arises from the diurnal variation of heating of a land mass with an initially stationary air mass was considered. The present paper considers the same problem with an initial overall velocity.
