Abstract

Describes the modeling of erosion and deposition over a barchan dune near the Salton Sea, California by book-keeping the quantity of sand in saltation following streamlines of transport. Natural fluctuation in the wind direction; Supplemental measurements of the wind velocity distribution; Low saturation of the inter-dune sandflow.
