Numerical Simulations of Large Martian Impact Ripples

Ripples made from unimodal fine sands can grow much larger on Mars than on Earth, reaching wavelengths of 1–3 m and heights exceeding 1 dm. Smaller decimeter-wavelength ripples can be superimposed on them. Classification and origins of these bedforms have been debated. They have been interpreted as...
