Notes

Approximates data in Table 3.2 by a logarithmic function (R2 = 0.84).
Performs better than 2nd-order polynomial function (R2 = 0.93), which gives a maximum height of ~15 m (D = 40-50 m) and than decreases yielding unrealistic values. Maximum height is ~17 m.
Original diameter range is 10.97-67.06 m (36-220 ft).
