A critical examination of the significance of the diabatic influence functions and the von Karman constant / by Aloysius K. Lo and Gordon A. McBean.En57-65/10-77E-PDF

"In studies of flux-profile relationships for wind velocity and temperature, the Monin-Ohukhov similarity theory for the constant flux layer is frequently used. There have been a number of widely accepted forms for the diabatic influence functions proposed in the literature. In many cases different values for the von Karman constant, k, were used to achieve agreement with experimental data. This paper examines the differences in fluxes compiled from the same profile data but using different flux—profile relationships. It is felt that, at least partially, these differences are due to experimental errors and the deviations of the field sites from the ideal conditions that were assumed in the derivation of the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory"--Abstract.
