Impact of Roughness Length on WRF Simulated Land‐Atmosphere Interactions Over a Hyper‐Arid Region

Impact of Roughness Length on WRF Simulated Land‐Atmosphere Interactions Over a Hyper‐Arid Region

Abstract The aerodynamic roughness length is a crucial parameter that controls surface variables including the horizontal wind, surface temperature, and heat fluxes. Despite its importance, in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, this parameter is typically assigned a predefined value,...
