A model for the logarithmic spectra of velocity in the stable boundary layer is developed using the concept of local scaling. The resulting expressions for peak wavelength are in agreement with empirical data from Minnesota 1973. 7 Partially financed by CAPES and FINEP.

β¦ Synopsis
A simple model of the scaling parameter (fc) as a function of z/L for a stable surface layer is developed. This model is used to derive empirical forms for curves presented by Kaimal et al. (1972). Also obtained is the peak of the frequency and the maximum value of the logarithmic spectra as a function of Z/L.

Measurements of the velocity circulation in the atmospheric surface layer can be used to infer information on atmospheric vorticity, a quantity of fundamental importance. In this paper, circulation is measured with an acoustic sensor. The instrument is described, and some results are given.
## Abstract Results of our recent investigation of spectral measurements of wind velocity in the surface layer are analysed in light of the hypothesis proposed by Kaimal __et al.__ (1972). It is confirmed that in the inertial subrange the spectra for all the three components and varying stability c
