Canopy Roughness Length

Canopy Roughness Length is a micrometeorological parameter representing the height above the surface at which wind speed theoretically becomes zero, accounting for the aerodynamic effects of vegetation elements and distinguishing it from surface roughness by characterizing the effective height of canopy-induced flow resistance in turbulent boundary layer models.
