Relations between aerodynamic and surface roughness in a hyper-arid cold desert : McMurdo dry valleys, Antarctica

Auteur :
LANCASTER, N.

Description :
This study examines relations between roughness element geometry and density, and boundary-layer winds in an area with no vegetation, as a contribution to understanding aeolian processes in rocky terrains, such as those occuring in many hyper-arid deserts on Earth, as well on Mars.
