Abstract
In this paper the application of Venkatram's model for intemal boundary layer (IBL) height evaluation containing the mechanical and thermal causes of IBL forming, has been given. The model has been chosen because of its theoretical base and the fact that its input parameters can be valued on a measured data base in our coastal area. Venkatram's model has been applied to the lstrian peninsula and tested by radiosounding data in Pula. We have estimated IBL height at the meteorological station in Pula (using both model and measurements) for the summer months when this layer is especially explicit in the coastal area. The diurnal change of lBL height for a certain period of time (1000-1700 LST) when the seabreeze is more likely to blow, has been evaluated in Pula, also in the summer months (based on the model, a presumption of a synusoidal land temperature dependence on time (0700-2100 LST) and on measurements).
