Local Wind Regime Induced by Giant Linear Dunes: Comparison of ERA5-Land Reanalysis with Surface Measurements

Cyril Gadal, Pauline Delorme, Clément Narteau +4

Emergence and growth of sand dunes results from the dynamic interaction between topography, wind flow and sediment transport. While feedbacks between these variables are well studi…

Coexistence of two dune growth mechanisms in a landscape-scale experiment

Ping Lü, Clément Narteau, Zhibao Dong +5

In landscape-scale experiments at the edge of the Gobi desert, we show that various dune types develop simultaneously under natural wind conditions. Using 4 years of high-resolutio…

Direct validation of dune instability theory

Ping Lü, Clément Narteau, Zhibao Dong +6

Modern dune fields are valuable sources of information for the large-scale analysis of terrestrial and planetary environments and atmospheres, but their study relies on understandi…

Spatial and temporal development of incipient dunes

Cyril Gadal, Clément Narteau, Ryan C. Ewing +4

In zones of loose sand, wind-blown sand dunes emerge due the linear instability of a flat sedimentary bed. This instability has been studied in experiments and numerical models but…

Elongation and stability of a linear dune

O. Rozier, C. Narteau, C. Gadal +2

Compared to barchan dunes, the morphodynamics of linear dunes that elongate on a non-erodible bed is barely investigated by means of laboratory experiments or numerical simulations…

Periodicity in fields of elongating dunes

Cyril Gadal, Clément Narteau, Sylvain Courrech du Pont +2

Dune fields are commonly associated with periodic patterns that are among the most recognizable landscapes on Earth and other planetary bodies. However, in zones of limited sedimen…
