Eolian Hazard Assessment for the Snort Facility

Abstract

Field, office, and laboratory studies of eolian (wind transported and deposited) sediments and landforms in the vicinity of the SNORT Facility at the China Lake Ranges were conducted to provide the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division with the information needed to: (1) assess the sand and dust hazards to existing and planned facilities in the vicinity of SNORT and (2) develop sustainable long-term mitigation and control of sand encroachment and dust emissions to protect these facilities.
