This report details the experimental methods and data obtained in the course of a study of the movement of stable air over a complex region. The field work was carried out in the Richards Bay area on the Natal Coast during the period May to August 1975.
Data reported are:
(i) vertical profiles of air temperature and wind speed extending up to 3,5 km; and
(ii) Directional frequency statistics of the surface wind based on wind measurements at eight stations in the Richards Bay area.
An attempt is made to classify the wind statistics in terms of atmospheric stability by using time-of-day and wind speed as criteria for stability classification.
