u2_fcn: Wind speed at 2m height

In WDNR-Water-Use/CSLSevap: Evapo(transpi)ration Calculations

Description

Calculates the wind speed at 2 m height given a wind speed at z m height based on Equation 47 in Allen et al. (1998).

Usage

u2_fcn(uz, z = 10)

Arguments

uz	wind speed at z m above ground surface (m/s)
z	height of measurement above ground surface (m). Default is 10m, a common height for wind speed measurements in meteorology.

Value

u2	wind speed at 2 m above ground surface (m/s)
