Description :
The AA. analyse Werner's dune-field simulation model for the uni-directional wind regime leading to the evolution of transverse dunes. Following this, they introduce 2 revisions to the Werner model, which lead to dunes that more closely resemble those in nature. The first revision incorporates wind structure over a dune, and the second considers the wind speedup and the equilibrium dune shape.
