Quantifying the form-flow-saltation dynamics of aeolian sand ripples
J. M. Nield, M. C. Baddock, G. F. S. Wiggs +9
Ripples are the most fundamental and ubiquitous aeolian bedforms formed on sandy surfaces, but their small size and fast response times make them inherently difficult to measure. H…
Modeling the dynamics of aeolian meter-scale bedforms induced by bed heterogeneities
C. Rambert, J. M. Nield, C. Narteau +6
Desert surfaces are typically non uniform, with individual sand dunes generally surrounded by gravel or non-erodible beds. Similarly, beaches vary in composition and moisture that…
Field evidence for the initiation of isolated aeolian sand patches
P. Delorme, J. M. Nield, G. F. S. Wiggs +5
Sand patches are one of the precursors to early-stage protodunes and occur widely in both desert and coastal aeolian environments. Here we show field evidence of a mechanism to exp…
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…
Dune initiation in a bimodal wind regime
Pauline Delorme, Giles. F. S. Wiggs, Matthew. C. Baddock +3
Early-stage bedforms develop into mature dunes through complex interactions between wind, sand transport and surface topography. Depending on varying environmental and wind conditi…
