Title On the Dichotomy In Theoretical Treatments of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Names Deardorff, J. W. (creator)
Mahrt, L. (creator)
Date Issued 1982-09 (iso8601)
Abstract The two main approaches presently in use for studying the boundary layer are quite dichotomous. It is shown that the Ekman approach which uses an eddy coefficient fixed in height can load to a serious contradiction this approach should be avoided if boundary-layer structure is being investigated.
