Turbulence-driven saltation in the atmospheric surface layer

The relations between the turbulent structures that contribute to the Reynolds shear stress and the transport of saltating grains and between the wind speed and the saltation are studied. The saltation of sand particles and the turbulent flow field over a beach surface in the Western Baltic Sea are...
