The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

Despite widespread recognition that landforms are complex Earth systems with process-
response linkages that span temporal scales from seconds to millennia and spatial scales …

The blowing of sand by wind, known as saltation, ejects dust aerosols into the atmosphere,
creates sand dunes, and erodes geological features. We present a comprehensive …

There is an increasing awareness of the influence of surface moisture on aeolian
entrainment and transport of sediment. Existing wind tunnel studies have shown the impact …

The work presented here focuses on the analysis of a turbulent boundary layer saturated
with saltating particles. Experiments were carried out in a wind tunnel 15m long and 0.6 m …

The vertical and horizontal distributions of aeolian mass flux were measured at Oceano
Dunes, California, and these data were used to evaluate a numerical model of saltation …

A simple explicit formula for the transport rate of windblown sand is derived based on
physical reasoning. The curve relating the dimensionless transport rate to the dimensionless …

Field experiments were conducted to determine the characteristic spatial and temporal
dimensions and behavior of aeolian streamers and to identify the processes responsible for …

Vertical profiles of the streamwise mass flux of blown sand in the near‐bed (< 17 mm) region
are analysed from high‐resolution measurements made using an optical sensor in a wind …

Eight aeolian sand-transport models are evaluated using a field data set and a new
approach to estimating shear velocity. The models are those of Bagnold (1937), Kawamura …
