Abstract
The function ()=(1+|z/L|^2/3)^1/2, where z is the height, L the Obukhov length, and a constant, is proposed for the nondimensional wind speed and temperature gradients (flux-profile relationships) in an unstable surface layer. This function agrees quite well with both wind speed and temperature data, has the theoretically correct behaviour in convective conditions, and leads to simple results when integrated to produce the mean profiles.
