Abstract

The second part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of how heights of intense turbulent exchange and their corresponding temperature gradients in the atmospheric boundary layer are interrelated with ground values of the wind velocity and vertical turbulent heat flow. We consider only cases of temperature inversions in winter (January–February 2020). The division of inversions into two types (ground and raised) and four forms is introduced and the statistic for the height of the turbulent exchange region is obtained for them. According to results of the analysis, a conclusion is made that the direct (well-defined) relation between the height of the intense turbulent heat exchange layer and ground values of the wind velocity and turbulent heat flow is absent under conditions of temperature inversions.
