At the equator, where the Antitriptic wind blows, which is the height at which the friction force vanishes? The friction force balances the pressure gradient in the Antitriptic balance, but the friction force is due to SURFACE friction, it should decrease like in the Ekman layer...
I need such information for my research in wind engineering (I am a civil engineer). I would like to open a discussion, since I have been thinking on that for long time
