SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF VERTICAL VARIABILITY OF THE WIND VELOCITIES IN THE ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER
Abstract
The climatology of the boundary is still very poorly developed because research in this field has really only begun. For this reason it is not without interest to give an analysis of some characteristics of the vertical variability of wind velocity based on an analysis of empirical data. The analysis was based on data from rawin sounding at aerological stations in the USSR (Kiev, Leningrad, L'vov, Minsk, Moscow, and Riga) during the period from 1959 through 1963. These data were used in computing the mean and mean square deviations of wind velocity from the vane both for altitudes 0.1,0.2, and 0.5 km above the ground surface and for 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 km above sea level. In the computations it was taken into account that for a number of known reasons the maximum loss of wind information will be at the level h = 0.1 km. Accordingly, in order to ensure uniformity of a series of observations in the case of lack of data for the mentioned level data for the remaining levels are excluded during analysis.
