We review recent progress in our understanding of aeolian sediment transport, with
emphasis on work published since 1985. The current conceptual model of sediment …

The purpose of developing an integrated wind-erosion modelling system (IWEMS) is to
produce quantitative predictions of wind erosion on scales from local to global. The system …

A soil‐derived dust emission scheme has been designed in order to provide simulation of
mineral dust sources for atmospheric transport models [Marticorena and Bergametti, 1995] …

Aridity prevails over more than one third of the land area of the Earth and over a significant
fraction of the oceans as well. Yet to date there has been no comprehensive reference …

The airborne movement of particles of sand, dust, soil and snow causes some of the major
environmental problems of the world, ranging from the catastrophic, as in desertification, to …

A model for steady-state eolian saltation is presented in which computation of sand grain
trajectories in the wind and of the wind velocity profile modified by saltating grain drag forces …

Field measurements on an unvegetated, 10 m high barchan dune in Oman are compared
with measurements over a 1: 200 scale fixed model in a wind tunnel. Both the field and wind …

In order to investigate the intermittency of the aeolian saltation, a saltation model, forced with
instantaneous velocity fields, has been introduced in a Large Eddy Simulation airflow model …

An analytic steady-state model of wind-blown sand transport is developed. The basic
physical ideas are as in the current numerical models. In order to obtain explicit analytic …

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 …
