Defining the moment of erosion : the principle of thermal consonance timing

Auteur :
LAWLER, D.M.

Description :
The aim of this paper is to discuss a new measurement principle - thermal consonance timing (TCT) - which delivers clearer, more continuous and quantitative information on erosion and deposition event magnitude, timing and frequency, with the potential to develop a better understanding of the driving processes. Specifically, the paper : advances the TCT principle in the context of micrometeorological theory; describes how the TCT concept has been made initially operational for use in the field and laboratory; briefly presents experimental data from a very simple soil erosion simulation.
