The field experiment was undertaken at Greenwich Dunes, Prince Edward Island National Park, Canada. Wind flow and sand transport intensity were measured on the seaward slope of a vegetated foredune during a 16 h storm using an array of sonic

A field study was undertaken at the Greenwich Dunes, Price Edward Island, Canada. A conceptual model is proposed which shows how near-surface wind vectors are altered for 4 regional wind conditions : (a) onshore, detached; (b) onshore-oblique
