Charnock's relation

An empirical expression for aerodynamic roughness length z0 = αcu*2/g over the ocean, where u* is the friction velocity, g is gravitational acceleration, and αc ≈ 0. 015 is the Charnock parameter. It accounts for increased roughness as wave heights grow due to increasing surface stress.
