✦ Synopsis

The morning development of the daytime convective boundary layer (CBL) during fine weather has been observed with an acoustic D2pler sodar of the C.R.P.E. In particular, the vertical profile of the vertical velocity third-order statistic W" has been obtained. This quantity is a maximum near 0.32, where z, is the height of the CBL. The histogram of vertical velocity in the CBL shows a relationship between W" and the convective velocity W. and is useful for convective plume determination.
