Abstract
A similarity theory for the atmospheric boundary layer is presented. The Monin-Obukhov similarity theory for the surface layer is a particular case of this new theory, for the case of z → 0. Universal functions which are in agreement with empirical data are obtained for the stable and convective regimes.
