Q: Atmospheric boundary layers are very thick but follow formulas very similar to those of flat-plate theory. Consider wind blowing at 10 m/s at a height of 80 m above a smooth beach. Estimate the wind shear stress, in Pa, on the beach if the air is standard sea-level conditions. What will the wind velocity striking your nose be if
(a) You are standing up and your nose is 170 cm off the ground;
(b) You are lying on the beach and your nose is 17 cm off the ground?
