A surface roughness parameterization study near two proposed windfarm locations in Southern Ontario

This thesis presents a study on the applicability of common roughness parameterization guidelines in determining values of the surface roughness length (z0). These guidelines are often used for vertical extrapolation of wind speeds in the renewable energy industry. The specific goal of this thesis i...
