Abstract
Characteristic wavelengths for the u and v components of wind are stud ied rising the Monsoon Trough Boundary Layer Experiment (MONTBLEX) dat a obtained from a Doppler Sonic Detection and Ranging System (sodar) o ver the land station Kharagpur (near sea-coast). The principal stabili ty parameter (Z(i)/L(o)) is used to infer the behaviour of the non-dim ensional form of the characteristic wavelength (L(H)) within the entir e stability range occurring during the sounding periods. This is compa red with GATE - 1974 results (over the sea surface) published by Fitzj arrald (1978).
