Abstract:

This review considers the currently available theoretical and empirical knowledge concerning the wind velocity and temperature fields in the surface layer of the atmosphere. Attention is concentrated on those characteristics that can be measured directly. The surface layer will denote that lower layer of the atmosphere -- having a thickness of a few tens of meters -- in which the effect of the Coriolis force can be neglected.
