Aerodynamic Roughness Length

Aerodynamic Roughness Length is a geophysical surface parameter in boundary-layer meteorology that quantifies the height above the surface at which the wind speed profile extrapolates to zero, accounting for the retarding effect of surface roughness elements on turbulent airflow.
