The texture of the land surface (its roughness) influences the atmosphere dynamically as winds blow over the land's surface. Roughness is determined by both topography and vegetation. 3, record 1, English, - surface%20roughness

Des données de rugosité sont nécessaires. Ces données donnent une description de la rugosité de surface : plus la rugosité est élevée (des arbres, par exemple), plus le vent est ralenti et plus l'augmentation de la vitesse avec la hauteur sera importante. En ce qui concerne cette rugosité, 3 types de zones ont été retenues : - agglomérations (rugosité forte); - bois et forêts (rugosité moyenne); - mer (rugosité faible). 3, record 1, French, - rugosit%C3%A9%20de%20surface

Dans les stations météorologiques la vitesse du vent est relevée à dix mètres au-dessus du sol afin de dégager au mieux cette mesure des effets perturbants de la rugosité de surface. 4, record 1, French, - rugosit%C3%A9%20de%20surface
