The Fryberger model uses standardized wind data to estimate regional aeolian sediment drift potential (DP), which allows for interpretation and classification of aeolian dune landscapes. This paper identifies systematic frequency and magnitude
biases in the model that result from : variations in wind direction sector range, and use of wind speed class mid-point values over more statistically representative values. The significance of these biases is tested using unclassified data from Stanhope

This paper reports on an analysis of instantaneous sediment transport in relation to wind gusts, moisture content and fetch length from a field study carried out at Skallingen, Denmark. Wind speeds were measured with cup anemometers
and dune sediment budgets : wind speed, surface moisture conditions.
