THE DIURNAL VARIATION OF THE ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY IN THE ATMOSPHERE SURFACE BOUNDARY LAYER,

Abstract

The first section of this paper contains an analysis of experimental data obtained during special observations at the Koltushi station during the summers of 1957 and 1958. The second contains a theoretical solution of the problem of the diurnal variation of humidity, using the equation of eddy diffusion of water vapor. The eddy coefficient is assumed to be both height- and time-dependent. An example is given of the calculation of the diurnal variation of humidity, and the computational and experimental results are compared. (Author)
