uz_to_u10: Wind speed at 10m height

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

Description

Calculates the wind speed at 10 m height given a wind speed at z m height based on Equation S4.4 in McMahon et al. (2013).

Usage

uz_to_u10(uz, z = 2, z0 = 0.02)

Arguments

uz	wind speed at z m above ground surface (m/s)
z	height of measurement above ground surface (m). Default is 2m, a common height for wind speed measurements in agronomy
z0	roughness length for the measurement surface (m). Defaults to 0.02 for a short grass.

Value

u10	wind speed at 10 m above ground surface (m/s)
