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…
Field evidence for the upwind velocity shift at the crest of low dunes
P. Claudin, G. F. S. Wiggs, B. Andreotti
Wind topographically forced by hills and sand dunes accelerates on the upwind (stoss) slopes and reduces on the downwind (lee) slopes. This secondary wind regime, however, possesse…
