The results of an observational study of the structure of boundary layers formed on a density discontinuity are discussed, and the velocity profile in the mixing zone at the density discontinuity is calculated. It is shown that the velocity profile in a mixing layer on a density discontinuity can be calculated with Prandtl's formula for the boundary of a free jet if the variation of average velocity with the local Richardson number is taken into account.
