The structure of the nocturnal boundary layer affected by an advected fog mass is investigated. For this, measurements of the horizontal wind vector, the temperature, relative humidity and horizontal visibility performed on a radio mast 300 m high are used together with a monostatic SODAR recording.
Near-surface wind profiles in the nocturnal boundary layer, depth h, above relatively flat, treecovered terrain are described in the context of the analysis of Garratt (1980) for the unstable atmospheric boundary layer. The observations at two sites imply a surface-based transition layer, of depth z
## Abstract The variation of heat flux with height in inversion‐capped convective boundary layers is discussed. Cospectral shapes at levels above approximately one‐tenth the height of the lowest inversion base (__z__~1~) are shown to depart significantly from surface layer forms. the characteristic
