Modeling relative wind speed by optical stratification porosity within the canopy of a coastal protective forest at different stem densities

Wind speed and optical stratification porosity (OSP) were measured at various heights inside a coastal protective forest thinned to different stem densities to assess whether any characteristics of the wind profile in the coastal protective forest could be predicted from OSP. OSP was defi...
