DESCRIPTION
i.eb.z0m calculates the momentum roughness length (z0m) and optionally the surface roughness for heat transport (z0h) as per SEBAL requirements from Bastiaanssen (1995). Default: calculating from a NDVI with an deterministic equation, as seen in Bastiaanssen (1995). Flag -p : calculating from a SAVI with an empirical equation, as seen in Pawan (2004). This is a typical input to sensible heat flux computations of any energy balance modeling.NOTES
The NDVI map input and the ndvi_max operation set, is only to get a linear relationship from NDVI to vegetation height. The latter being related to z0m by a factor 7. If you happen to have a vegetation height (hv) map, then z0m=hv/7 and z0h=0.1*z0m.TODO
