Calculate canopy eddy diffusivity.

Public Functions Documentation

function canopy_eddyx

Calculate canopy eddy diffusivity.

subroutine canopy_eddy_mod::canopy_eddyx (
    HCM HCM,
    ZK ZK,
    USTAR USTAR,
    MOL MOL,
    KZ KZ
) 

Computes Eddy Diffusivity, Kz, within and just above canopy using stability-dependent parameterizations for different atmospheric conditions

Parameters:

  • HCM Height of canopy top (m)
  • ZK Above/Below canopy height, z (m)
  • USTAR Model input friction velocity (m/s)
  • MOL Model input Monin-Obukhov Length (m)
  • KZ Estimated Eddy Diffusivity with canopy turbulence (m²/s)
