Abstract
Few empirical measurements have been undertaken of shear velocity, sand transport or dune morphology in the upwind basal regions of dunes. This study compares field measurements in this region from a barchan dune in Oman with calculations from a complex flow model using linearised equations (FLOWSTAR) and measurements in a wind tunnel.Keywords
