  • Directional characteristics of potentially damaging wind gusts in the southeast United States
  • Climatology ; Damage ; Forecast ; Natural hazards ; United States of America ; Wind ; Wind speed
  • In this study, this wind gust data is analyzed from a network of 20 weather stations in the southeastern United States. From this analysis, the AA. develop a short-term climatology that summarizes regional variations in the prevailing directions
  • and speeds of high winds. The results will provide a preliminary guide to the zones around trees that are most threatened by blowover from high winds.

  • Physical principle of wind erosion on sandy land surface in southern Beijing
  • Aeolian features ; Aeolian transport ; Beijing ; China ; Land use ; Wind erosion ; Wind speed
  • activities and measures controlling wind erosion in Daxing District of Beijing. Different land use types result in various degrees of coarse component. There is a significant exponential relation between sediment transport concentration and wind velocity.

  • Aeolian features ; Aeolian transport ; Experimentation ; Model ; Splash ; Statistics ; Turbulence ; Wind speed
  • In this study, the dispersion of solid glass particles over a flat bed and over a two-dimensional triangular ridge is investigated experimentally by visualizing the wind-blown particles. After a brief description of the experimental facility, the AA
  • . will present the particle concentrations and velocities inside the saltation layer and hence, all the experimental statistical properties. Three different wind velocities were studied in the case of a flat bed whereas one fluid velocity was considered over

  • Measurement of water content as a control of particle entrainment by wind
  • This study reports on a set of wind tunnel experiments designed to examine the dependency of the mass transport rate on water contents that are distributed through space and time. The goal is to simulate and monitor surface conditions that provide

  • AUSLEM (AUStralian Land Erodibility Model) : a tool for identifying wind erosion hazard in Australia
  • Aeolian features ; Arid area ; Australia ; Dust storm ; El Niño ; Erodibility ; Geographical information system ; Model ; Natural hazards ; Soil degradation ; Soil erosion ; Wind erosion
  • AUSLEM is distinctive in that it quantitatively assesses landscape susceptibility to wind erosion at a 5x5 km spatial resolution on a monthly time-step across Australia. The system was implemented for representative wet (1984), dry (1994

  • The aim of this paper is to determine whether wave energy in Tasman Bay is sufficient to initiate clast transport along the gravel platforms. In this study, wind data form Nelson airport and measured wave data from Cable Bay and Mackay Bluff
  • are used in conjunction with 2 different mathematical models of clast transport. Values calculated from each of these models are compared with the present wind and wave environment of Tasman Bay. While the mathematical models can only provide approximations

  • Erodibility of some crust forming soils/sediments from the Southern Aral Sea basin as determined in a wind tunnel
  • The aim of this study was to assess the potential contribution of the different surface materials in the Southern Aral Sea Basin to dust generation. For this purpose, the deflatability of the materials was tested using a wind tunnel and laboratory

  • Wind tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of topography on the grain size characteristics of aeolian dust deposits. Experiments were performed on 3 isolated hills having various size and aspect ratios. The longitudinal
  • profile of the median grain diameter was investigated for each hill. The wind tunnel experiments show that the grain size characteristics of aeolian dust deposits are affected by topography.
