Abstract

Observations and theory presented in a paper by Nieuwstadt are reviewed and reconsidered. We have used a large eddy simulation (LES) model to make a 10-h rerun. Averaged results obtained for the last hour were considered to be representative for the wind-driven, quasi steady nocturnal boundary layer as reported in Nieuwstadt's paper.
