A GENERALIZED EKMAN LAYER PROFILE WITH GRADUALLY VARYING EDDY DIFFUSIVITIES

• The classical analytical solution for the Ekman layer flow has been generalized by introducing an assigned non-rapidly-varying eddy diffusivity K(z). Asymptotic expressions for the wind components u, nu Q obtained via the WKB method retain the form and,
