Wind-invariant saltation heights imply linear scaling of aeolian saltation flux with shear stress

RL Martin, JF Kok - Science advances, 2017‏ - science.org
Wind-driven sand transport generates atmospheric dust, forms dunes, and sculpts
landscapes. However, it remains unclear how the flux of particles in aeolian saltation—the …

A process‐based model for aeolian sediment transport and spatiotemporal varying sediment availability

BM Hoonhout, S Vries - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2016‏ - Wiley Online Library
