Effects of uncertainties in universal functions, roughness length, and displacement height on the calculation of surface layer fluxes

A sensitivity analysis of the turbulent momentum and sensible heat fluxes as functions of wind speed and temperature gradients in the surface layer was made on the basis of Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. The sensitivity of parameterized fluxes to the choice of a number of universal functions found...
