Area 9 Material Sciences: Fundamental Advances in Predicting Aeolian Transport: Moving Beyond the Fluid Threshold and Precipitation Control Paradigms
Abstract
Major Goals: The overarching objectives of the proposal are: Task 1: Develop a probabilistic model for sand transport occurrence over dry sand. Task 2: Test hypothesis that soil moisture from precipitation rarely inhibits aeolian transport. Task 3: Utilize the probabilistic model of transport occurrence (Task 1) and the simplified description of soil moisture effects (Task 2) to derive improved relations for sand and dust fluxes, especially for intermittent transport conditions.
