Journal ArticleDOI
Representative roughness parameters for homogeneous terrain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors draw up a set of objective requirements for experimental determination of the roughness of homogeneous terrain, particularly with respect to matching of the observation array to a terrain situation with given fetch, blending height and displacement length.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of biological and geomorphological processes involved in the initiation and development of incipient foredunes
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution, ecology processes, aerodynamics, and morphology of incipient or new foredunes on the upper beach is reviewed, and four types of infrastructures are distinguished: type 1, those initiated by shadow dune formation within zones of discrete individual pioneer annuals (e.g. Spinifex spp.; Ammophila spp.).
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerodynamic and surface factors in evaporation
TL;DR: In this paper, the aerodynamic properties of pine forest, lucerne, and potatoes are combined with British records and with those of Tanner and Pelton, permitting the following generalizations: for pliable agricultural crops the roughness length decreases with increasing wind speed (to ½ for 1 to 3 m sec−1), and in this range, Zo ≅ crop height/10.

J.A. van Vliet,Ken E. Giller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile current knowledge on nutrient cycling in cocoa production systems, nutrient requirements of cocoa, and yield response to fertilizer application in relation to factors such as management, climatic, and soil conditions.
