Abstract

The method of calculation of the height of atmospheric boundary layer and its internal layers, such as the surface, dynamic and convective ones, is proposed by means of the energy-balance model of the surface layer, including the surface layer parameterization based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. Model is developed for calculation of surface turbulent fluxes, soil flux, surface temperature, turbulent energy dissipation, scales of the surface and atmospheric boundary layers, profile function. Results are compared to the analogical models of other authors
