The importance of wind erosion with respect to soil conservation and to the spreading of noxious particles subsequent to deposit on a soil surface is indicated. The processes of wind erosion and transport are reviewed and are then illustrated by some measurements made at Hanford. Particle, surface, and meteorological factors which influence erosion by wind are listed and discussed briefly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
