                         for example, drag coefficient for the flows in forests are themes 
                         of many researches that try to rescue the classic approaches and 
                         to clarify some aspects present in the literature. Based on this, 
                         an analytical one-dimensional model was developed to describe the 
                         drag coefficient profile within canopy using average wind speed 
                         above the canopy and the leaf area density. The model managed to 
                         satisfactorily represent the drag coefficient profile and the 
                         comparative analysis indicates that the empirical drag coefficient 
                         profile is similar the inferred profile, suggesting that the model 
                         can be an alternative to be used in parameterization and 
                         understanding of the wind-canopy interactions.",
