Abstract
In this study, we utilize a novel approach to solve the Ekman equations for eddy viscosity profiles in the stable boundary layer. By doing so, a well-known expression for the stable boundary layer height by Zilitinkevich (Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 1972, Vol. 3, 141--145) is rediscovered.
