The aerodynamic roughness parameter z0 over inhomogeneous ground surfaces, such as cities, rural towns and so on, is determined by analyzing the wind data at AMeDAS observatories in the Tohoku and Kanto districts of Japan, by making use of Rossby number similarity theory. It is found that the aerody

A four-layer hydrologic model, coupled to a vegetation growth model, has been used to investigate the differences between aerodynamic surface temperature and radiative surface temperature over sparsely vegetated surface. The rationale for the coupling of the two models was to assess the dependency o
Current wind erosion and dust emission models neglect the heterogeneous nature of surface roughness and its geometric anisotropic effect on aerodynamic resistance, and over-estimate the erodible area by assuming it is not covered by roughness elements. We address these shortfalls with a new model wh
