The integrated momentum and thermodynamic equations through the planetary boundary layer (PBL) are solved numerically to predict the mean changes of wind and potential temperature from which surface fluxes are computed using bulk transfer coefficients of momentum and heat. The second part of the stu

## Abstract A numerical model of the local flow above an infinite series of two dimensional ridges is used to investigate the extent to which form drag on the ridges is balanced by reductions in surface shear stress compared to that for a plane surface. With a constant eddy viscosity Mason and Syke
Nondimensional parameters characteristic of the outer part of the planetary boundary layer have been determined by fitting a simple, Ekman-type theory to a number of averaged, observed velocity distributions, using the Wangara data of Clarke et al. (1971). The theoretical model is based on constant
A model of a stationary planetary boundary layer is proposed based on the equation of motion with the advective term retained. The latter is modeled by means of the so-called geostrophic momentum approximation in two versions -original and modified. New expressions for the vertical velocity W, at th
