Abstract
Acoustic radar observations are discussed and shown to provide useful information relating to the nature and diurnal variation of the lower boundary layer of the atmosphere over Johanesburg. Particular phenomena considered include inversion formation and dissipation. development of fumigation conditions and the occurrence of daytime thermal convection.Keywords
