Four categories of cities with increasing roughness length according to Grimmond and Oke(1999). The associated flow regimes (figure 6.3) are: isolated flow (low density: a, b, c); wake interferenceflow (medium density: d, e, f) skimming flow (high density: g, h, i) and chaotic or mixed flow (high rise: j,k,l)
