Description :
The Presqu'ile field study was designed to provide quantitative information on sublimation from frozen sand surfaces under field conditions. This goal was pursued through the following objectives: 1) to assess (by experimental means) the rate of sand loss from a frozen surface as a result of sublimation. 2) to find a relationship between sublimation-initiated sand loss and sand moisture content, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed.
