The physics of wind-blown sand and dust
JF Kok, EJR Parteli, TI Michaels… - Reports on progress in …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

Interpretation of snow properties from imaging spectrometry
Snow is among the most “colorful” materials in nature, but most of the variability in snow
reflectance occurs beyond 0.8 µm rather than in the visible spectrum. In these wavelengths …
