Abstract
The nondimensional wind shear is examined over a wide range of stable and highly stable stratifications. The velocity profiles from the Kansas, Moses Lake and Wangara experiments are analyzed using Webb's (1970) method. The results show that the log-linear function accurately represents the velocity profile close to the ground, up to z/L ≈ 1. The log-linear layer covers a significant part of the lower nocturnal boundary layer and extends above the constant flux layer.
