6.3.6.1. supy.util.cal_z0zd

supy.util.cal_z0zd(ser_qh, ser_ustar, ser_ta_c, ser_rh_pct, ser_pres_hpa, ser_ws, z_meas, h_sfc, debug=False)

Calculates surface roughness and zero plane displacement height. Refer to https://suews-parameters-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/steps/roughness-SuPy.html for example

Parameters:

• ser_qh (pd.DataFrame) – sensible heat flux [W/m^2]

• ser_ustar (pd.Series) – friction velocity [m/s]

• ser_ta_c (pd.Series) – air temperature [°C]

• ser_rh_pct (pd.Series) – relative humidity [%]

• ser_pres_hpa (pd.Series) – air pressure [hPa]

• z_meas (number) – measurement height in m

• h_sfc (number) – vegetation height in m

• debug (bool, optional) – Option to output final calibrated ModelResult, by default False

Returns:

• z0 – surface roughness length for momentum

• zd – zero displacement height
