The Wind‐Blown Sand Experiment in the Empty Quarter Desert: Roughness Length and Saltation Characteristics

Abstract The Empty Quarter Desert, one of Earth's major dust sources, frequently experiences dust storms due to wind erosion. Despite its significance as a primary dust source on a global scale, in‐situ observations from this region had not been reported until very recently. In summer 2022, the...
