	<span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Fifty years ago, Hans A. Panofsky
published a paper entitled </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Determination
of stress from wind and temperature measurements</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. In his famous paper</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> he presented a new profile function for the
mean horizontal wind speed under the condition of diabatic stratification that
includes his integral similarity function. With his integral similarity
function</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> he opened the door for Monin-Obukhov scaling in
a wide range of micrometeorological and microclimatological applications. In a
historic survey ranging from the sixties of the past century down to the
present days, we present integral similarity functions for momentum, sensible
heat, and water vapor for both unstable and stable stratification, where on the
one hand free convection condition and on the other hand strongly stable
stratification are addressed.</span>
