The efficiency of three vertical array field traps for measuring the distribution of aeolian mass transport with height was compared with measurements with an isokinetic trap. The vertical traps seem to work adequately (efficiency >โ80%) at heights greater than โ15โmm above the bed. Closer to the be

A new type of horizontal trap was developed for measuring the aeolian sand transport rate on a flat surface. The trap consists of an adjustable frame that is embedded level with the sand surface, into which a plastic liner is installed and filled with water to capture the blown sand. The water trap
A new tipping-bucket assembly (T-BASS) for aeolian sand traps has been designed and field tested with encouraging results. It facilitates high-frequency monitoring of sediment flux over extensive time periods, and therefore offers improved performance over other continuously weighing mechanisms that
