Nondimensional temperature and wind profiles and their changes under the influence of terrain and stability conditions

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

The object of this paper is to present some of the results obtained by the analysis of the set of vertical profile measurements of momentum and temperature fluxes, of the mean wind speed and temperature. The conditions of validity of the Monin-Obukhov theory over a complex terrain are discussed.
