Seasonal, Diurnal and Wind-Direction-Dependent Variations of the Aerodynamic Roughness Length in Two Typical Forest Ecosystems of China

Aerodynamic roughness length (zom) is an important parameter for reliably simulating surface fluxes. The parameter varies with wind speed, atmospheric stratification, terrain and other factors; however, variations of this parameter are not properly considered in most models, which may result in unce...
