Abstract
This paper further investigates the classical problem of the wind in the steady atmospheric Ekman layer. For the case of eddy viscosity being subjected to a quadratic function, we construct an explicit solution, where the used approach is different from Delia [Analytical atmospheric Ekman-type solutions with height-dependent eddy viscosities. J Math Fluid Mech. 2021;23:Article ID 18]. For the case of eddy viscosity being related to two-value piecewise-constant, we give a formula to compute the surface deflection angle by the constructed solution.
