The integrated momentum and thermodynamic equations for the planetary boundary layer (PBL) are solved numerically to predict the mean changes of wind and potential temperature from which surface fluxes are computed using bulk transfer coefficients of momentum and heat. The formulation and testing of a PBL height model based on the turbulent energy budget equation where turbulent fluxes of wind and heat are considered as the source of energy is described. The model exhibits the capability to predict the PBL height development for both stable and unstable regimes of observed conditions. Results of the model agree favorably with Deardorff's (1974) and Tennekes' (1973) models in convective conditions.
