Field studies conducted at Owens Lake, California, provide direct measurements of sand flux on sand sheets with zero to 20 per cent cover of salt grass. Results from 12 different sand transport events show that aerodynamic roughness length and threshold wind shear velocity increase with vegetation c

This paper deals with the effect of rainfall on the process of wind erosion of beach sands and presents results from both field and wind tunnel experiments. Although sediment transport by splash is of secondary importance on coastal dunes, splashsaltation processes can move sediments in conditions w
## Abstract A series of wind tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of surface roughness distribution on evaporation processes. In particular, the relationship between nonβhomogeneous roughness distribution parameters and effective roughness parameters, which are often required
