Temporal Dynamics of Aerodynamic Canopy Height Derived From Eddy Covariance Momentum Flux Data Across North American Flux Networks

Abstract

Abstract Aerodynamic canopy height ( h a ) is the effective height of vegetation canopy for its influence on atmospheric fluxes and is a key parameter of surface‐atmosphere coupling. However, methods to estimate h a from data are limited. This synthesis evaluates the applicability and robustness of the calculation of h a from eddy covariance momentum‐flux data. At 69 forest sites, annual h a robustly predicted site‐to‐site and …
