Description
When working with different value of z0 for momentum and heat (z0m and z0h), there is an error in the computation of the mean z0h. The method used is to average the drag coefficients (and not the z0 values or their log) over the grid cell to deduce the mean z0m and mean z0h.
The drag coefficient for momentum equals :
dragm = ln(zref/z0m)*ln(zref/z0m)
The drag coefficient for heat equals :
dragh = ln(zref/z0m)*ln(zref/z0h)
The error was that dragh was computed as ln(zref/z0h)*ln(zref/z0h).
The correction of this error leads to the same computation of z0m but lower values for z0h.
Test simulations have been performed in force (fG3) and coupled (CL4) mode.

Change in annual mean of z0h with and without the correction is attached to the ticket (z0h_wmodif/z0h_womodif, ratio_z0h.gif).
Difference in the annual mean kB-1 value is also attached.
