Summary
Abstract:
This dataset contains data collected during studies of boundary layer winds and
surface characteristics. These field experiments were designed to: 1. Understand and quantify the partitioning of wind shear stress between surface and roughness elements on (a) rocky surfaces and (b) surfaces with scatted rocks and intervening sand surface. 2. Test the Raupach ...  Geographic Coverage
