Abstract

A new derivation of the stability functions for the Prandtl-Blackadar atmospheric boundary layer model from the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory is proposed by invoking the consistency between the surface layer and the boundary layer turbulent fluxes. The new stability functions are compared to the Louis stability functions and validated, against an ensemble of large eddy simulations, in the context of a single column model simulation of the stably stratified, shear driven, boundary layer. The results of the new stability functions are superior to those of the Louis model and are suggested for the boundary layer parameterization in the atmospheric numerical models.
