wind erosion climatic factor is a measure of climatic factors explaining the wind erosion erosivity. humidity and wind speed are climatic characteristics that must be considered as the erosion parameters. in this study, linear moment analysis (l-moments) and wind erosion climatic factor were used to evaluate the regional climate’s tendency effect on wind erosion in yazd province. wind erosion c...

Potter, K. N., Williams, J. R., Larney, F. J. and Bullock, M. S. 1998. Evaluation of EPIC’s wind erosion submodel using data from southern Alberta. Can. J. Soil Sci. 78: 485–492. Wind erosion models have been used to assess policy impacts on soil erosion, but validation of models has been difficult until recently. We evaluated the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) wind erosion subm...

In the United States, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the primary agency charged with the task of reducing wind erosion associated with production agriculture. The NRCS has used the Wind Erosion Equation (WEQ) (Woodruff and Siddoway, 1965) to assess the effects of field management on the potential for wind erosion for the last two and a half decades. The WEQ uses input...

The wind erosion stochastic simulator (WESS) is a single event wind erosion model that is the core of the wind erosion submodel of the environmental policy integrated climate (EPIC) erosion model. WESS uses inputs of soil texture, erodible particle diameter, soil roughness, soil water content, crop residue, and 10 min average wind speeds to predict the erosion at several user-selected distances...

This study explores approaches for wind erosion risk assessment utilising available time-series Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and climate products. We present a simple index and a ruleset based approach to identify wind erosion risk areas across Australian using time-series of ground cover, soil moisture and wind speed. These approaches and data sets were implemented in ...

Soil erosion by wind is a serious problem in many parts of Europe and leads to degradation of the resource soil. In order to achieve sustainable land use, tools to identify problem areas and to evaluate environmental sound management practices are needed and necessary. Until now no wind erosion measurements have been carried out in Austria. For the fist time assessment of soil erosion by wind h...

Data integration is a very important strategy to obtain optimum solutions in geo-scientific analysis, 3D scene modelling and visualization. This paper mainly focuses on the integration of GIS-data, stereo aerial imagery and DSM to derive automatically wind erosion obstacles in the open landscape to enhance the Digital Soil Science Map of Lower Saxony in Germany. The extracted wind erosion obsta...

Wind erosion measurements were carried out in Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, southern Nevada, USA. Gross erosion (the total mass of sediment effectively blown away from a surface), gross deposition (the total mass of sediment effectively depositing on a surface) and net erosion (the difference in sediment mass before and after an event) were measured for 1 year, on 17 different types of surfaces...

Maintaining standing vegetative soil cover is an important method of wind erosion control. However^ an improved physical understanding of the mechanisms by which standing vegetation control wind erosion is needed so the erosion control level of vegetation not previously tested in a wind tunnel can be calculated. In this report, a theoretical approach that accounts for both the surface friction ...
