A parameterization of momentum roughness length and displacement height for a wide range of canopy densities

Values of the momentum roughness length, <I>z<SUB>0</SUB></I>, and displacement height, <I>d</I>, derived from wind profiles and momentum flux measurements, are selected from the literature for a variety of sparse canopies. These include savannah, tiger-bush and s...
