Abstract

It is suggested that since diffusion is the principal vertical transfer mechanism in the boundary layer, the mixing-length concept can be used to determine the spacing between levels in numerical models. An analysis of the Wangara Experiment boundary-layer data suggests that for that location, a vertical spacing of about 1% of the smallest horizontal scale is appropriate in the spiral layer and that this is constant with height.
