## Abstract Averages of the wind vector at four times of the day were evaluated for 29 suitable days during the summer of 1951 at Wichita, Kansas, and Oklahoma City. The periodic portion of the wind variation vector is an ellipse at all levels with the major axis approximately in the direction of t

โฆ Synopsis
The equations of motions are solved for concentric circular flow in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) under the assumption of K = 1' I&/& and gradient wind independent of radius r. The theoretical distribution of wind is obtained for r 2 300 km. Other parameters of the PBL are also calculated. Finally, equilibrium of the forces in the PBL is analyzed.

Until recently, pollution dispersion models have made predictions on the basis that the pollutant concentration is Gaussian. Such is not the case for convective conditions where the observed vertical velocity distribution is skewed towards the updraught portion of the distribution. One recent disper
Studies of the influence of orography on the dynamics of atmospheric processes usually assume the following relation as a boundary condition at the surface of the Earth, or at the top of the planetary layer: where u, v and w are the components of wind velocity along the x, y and z axes, respectivel
