Abstract
A similarity theory for th e planetary boundary layer was derived utilizing the complex expression for wind velocity. A diagram was made for the convenience of determining surface drag and wind rotation. Next, assuming that above the constant-flux layer eddy viscosity is independent of height, further formulae were gained. According to the analysis of data at O'Neill, some results at ideal conditions matched with the theory.
