Abstract: Estimates of the wind shear stress exerted on Earth’s surface using the fully rough form of the law-of-the-wall are a function of the aerodynamic roughness length, z0. Accurate prediction of aeolian sediment transport rates, therefore,… read more here.

Abstract: A widely used morphometric method (Macdonald et al. 1998) to calculate the zero-plane displacement (zd) and aerodynamic roughness length (z0) for momentum is further developed to include vegetation. The adaptation also applies to the Kanda… read more here.
