From the History of Boundary-Layer Studies at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics

详细

Some results of experimental investigations carried out at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics concerning the role of turbulence in exchange processes in the atmospheric boundary layer are described. From the very beginning, thanks to the works of A.M. Obukhov, the theory of this field strongly surpassed the experiment, and to verify the predictions of the theory and move forward, it was necessary to create new instruments and techniques. As a student of Obukhov, the author personally participated in the creation and ractical application of many instruments and techniques. This historical overview presents ten important results that were obtained with the direct involvement of the author and describes the first five results in detail.
