Boundary condition specifies a epsilon inlet for the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). This boundaty is to be used in conjunction with ABLInletVelocity.
epsilon = Ustar^3 / (K(z - zGround + z0)) where: Ustar is the frictional velocity K is karman's constant z is the verical coordinate z0 is the surface roughness lenght zGround minium vlaue in z direction
