Abstract:

Influence of cloud amount and height of a single-level cloudiness on the formation and evolution of near-ground temperature inversion within the boundary atmospheric layer at night is considered in this paper. Some peculiarities of the inversion height behavior, particularly, its sharp decrease as the cloud amount exceeds certain value are discussed using model estimates. Correlation between the inversion height, cloud amount and dynamic friction velocity is illustrated with model examples.
