Area 9 Material Sciences: Fundamental Advances in Predicting Aeolian Transport: Moving Beyond the Fluid Threshold and Precipitation Control Paradigms
Abstract
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.
