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 …

The physics of wind-blown loess: Implications for grain size proxy interpretations in Quaternary paleoclimate studies
Loess deposits are recorders of aeolian activity during past glaciations. Since the size
distribution of loess deposits depends on distance to the dust source, and environmental …

Size distribution of particles in Saturn's rings from aggregation and fragmentation
Saturn's rings consist of a huge number of water ice particles, with a tiny addition of rocky
material. They form a flat disk, as the result of an interplay of angular momentum …

Improved parameterization for the size distribution of emitted dust aerosols reduces model underestimation of super coarse dust
Aircraft measurement campaigns have revealed that super coarse dust (diameter> 10 μm)
surprisingly accounts for approximately a quarter of aerosols by mass in the atmosphere …
