Abstract
It is shown that the variation of wind speed with height as given by Deacon's form for the power law is similar to that expressed by Lettau's generalized logarithmic law. The exponent in the power formulation may be evaluated by an extension of the theory of turbulence in the atmospheric surface layer.
