Abstract
In our report of the work of the Soil Conservation Service evaporation‐project, at the meeting in 1942, we called attention to the need for reliable observations of wind‐velocity at various levels within a few feet of the Earth's surface, taken throughout the day, and at various seasons of the year to determine the character of the wind‐structure during different conditions of atmospheric stability, and over different kinds of surfaces. We also pointed out the non‐existence of such observations and mentioned the difficulty of obtaining them [see 3 of “References” at end of paper]Keywords
