Towards an urban roughness parameterisation using interferometric SAR data taking the Metropolitan Region of Hamburg as an example

Increased surface roughness and the enhanced drag effect of the urban surface are important alterations in urban boundary layer dynamics. An enhanced roughness mapping would be beneficial for several modelling applications since state of the art roughness parameters derived from land use data do not...
