Abstract

Wind profiles observed at various locations are compared with wind profiles predicted by Ellison on the basis of similarity theory. It is shown that theory and observations agree well for near‐neutral and unstable air; however, in stable air, factors not considered in the similarity theory may become important.

The range of usefulness of the log‐linear wind profile is shown to be small.

## Abstract It is shown that miscellaneous theories for flow over low ridges give results consistent with each other and that these results can be used to quantify certain observed features of the wind profile downwind from an escarpment.
