The logarithmic + polynomial approximation is suggested for vertical profiles of velocity components in a planetary boundary layer (PBL) at neutral and stable stratification. The resistance law functions A and B are determined on the basis of this approximation, using integral relations derived from the momentum equations, the Monin-Obukhov asymptotic formula for the wind profile in a stably stratified near-surface layer and the known expressions for the PBL depth. This result gives a realistic and convenient method for calculating the surface friction velocity and direction and the total dissipation rate of mean flow kinetic energy in terms of geostrophic velocity, buoyancy flux at the surface, the roughness parameter and the Coriolis parameter. In the course of these derivations a review is given of current views on the main problems of the neutral and stable PBL.
