Surface-layer Similarity

Surface-Layer Similarity is a theoretical framework in boundary-layer meteorology that generalizes the vertical profiles of mean wind, temperature, and humidity in the atmospheric surface layer by expressing them as universal functions of dimensionless stability parameters, thereby enabling the prediction of turbulent fluxes based on local observations.
