Which value does the roughness length take over open water?
Answer: B
Calm water is aerodynamically very smooth, but the roughness length increases with wind speed as waves develop, which is the Charnock relation. This dependence on the wind itself makes the ocean surface unusual, since over land the roughness is fixed by the terrain and vegetation. It matters greatly for the drag coefficient in strong winds.
