Abstract:

The paper discusses results of the analysis of vertical profiles of the normalized structure characteristic of air temperature C  in the atmospheric boundary layer under conditions of daytime convection. The experimental data have been obtained with Volna-4M acoustic Doppler radar (sodar) (Akademgorodok, Tomsk, Russia). The profiles were auto-normalized to the value of C  at the height H = 100 m. The results obtained in daytime (11:00–16:00 Local Time) in the warm period (July–August) of 2015 have been analyzed. The shape of the sodar vertical profiles of C  has been compared with results by other authors. The presence of a break in the C  profile at heights of 60–80 m can be noticed.
 

Keywords:
