  3. Content

  4. Surface layer and roughness length

  5. Parameters controlling z0u

  6. Stability Dependence of Roughness Length For urban and vegetation canopies with roughness-element heights (20-50 m) comparable with the Monin-Obukhov turbulent length scale, L, the surface resistance and roughness length depend on stratification

  7. Background physics and effect of stratification

  8. Recommended formulation

  9. Experimental datasets Sodankyla Meteorological Observatory, Boreal forest (FMI) BUBBLE urban BL experiment, Basel, Sperrstrasse (Rotach et al., 2004) h ≈ 13 m, measurement levels 23, 25, 47 m h ≈ 14.6 m, measurement levels 3.6, 11.3, 14.7, 17.9, 22.4, 31.7 m

  10. Stable stratification

  11. Stable stratification

  12. Stable stratification

  13. Unstable stratification

  14. Unstable stratification

  15. Unstable stratification

  16. STABILITY DEPENDENCE OF THE ROUGHNESS LENGTHin the “meteorological interval” -10 < h0/L <10 after new theory and experimental dataSolid line: z0u/z0versus h0/L Dashed line: traditional formulation z0u = z0

  17. Traditional concept: roughness length fully characterised by geometric features of the surface New theory and data: essential dependence on hydrostatic stability especially strong in stable stratification Applications: to urban and terrestrial-ecosystem meteorology Practically sound: urban air pollution episodes in very stable stratification Conclusions(roughness length)
