canopy_breadth_fun: Canopy Breadth Function.

In tom-locatelli/fgr: R Version of the ForestGALES wind risk model

Description

Calculates the breadth of the canopy under wind load.

Usage

canopy_breadth_fun(cr_width, uguess, n_drag, c_drag, drag_upper_limit)

Arguments

cr_width	The width of the canopy in windless conditions (m).
uguess	Critical wind speed at canopy top calculated with the roughness or single-tree method (m s-1).
n_drag	N parameter of the drag coefficient formula (dimensionless).
c_drag	C parameter of the drag coefficient formula (dimensionless).
drag_upper_limit	Maximum wind speed used during the experiments from which n_drag and c_drag were derived (m*s-1).

Value

The breadth of the crown under wind loading (m).
