The influence of the roughness length on calculated fluxes of momentum and matter in the boundary layer is discussed. From observations of the velocity profiles of wind and water current, the roughness length of arctic sea ice is found to vary greatly around an average of 0.02 cm for the upper and 2 cm for the lower surface.
