Problems
5.1. If the wind measured at 2 m (height measured from the soil surface)
over a wheat field is 5 mls, what is the wind speed at the top of the
canopy? Assume the wheat is 60 cm in height.
5.2. Using the following data find u* and z,. Assume d = 0.08 m. Use
a graphical or prve-fitting method; not Eqs. (5.2) and (5.3).

Height (m)
Wind speed (mls)
5.3. What is the wind speed 10 cm above the ground in problem 5.1 ?
