| Abstract: | Aerodynamic roughness length (z0m is a key factor in surface flux estimations with remote sensing
algorithms and/or land surface models. This paper calculates z0m over several land surfaces, with 3 years of
experimental data from Xiaotangshan. The results show that z0m is direction-dependent, mainly due to the
heterogeneity of the size and spatial distribution of the roughness elements inside the source area along different wind
directions. Furthermore, a heuristic parameterization of the aerodynamic roughness length for heterogeneous surfaces is
proposed. Individual z0m over each surface component (patch) is calculated firstly with the characteristic
parameters of the roughness elements (vegetation height, leaf area index, etc.), then z0m over the whole
experimental field is aggregated, using the footprint weighting method. |
