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

From sodar measurements gathered during the Voves experiment (France, summer 1977), the variations of the temperature structure parameter C$were studied in the morning planetary boundary layer. Dimensionless profiles of C$ are consistent with the mixed-layer scaling of Kaimal et al. (1976); however,
In an effort to describe the basic vertical structure of the nocturnal boundary layer, observations from four experiments are analyzed. During the night, the depth of significant cooling appears to increase with time while the depth of the turbulence and height of the low level wind maximum tend to
A useful method for remote sensing of vertical temperature profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer is described. From angular measurements of brightness temperature at 58 GHz, profiles have been inferred up to an altitude of 700m. Calculations were done with an iterative inversion procedure (Smit
