Unraveling the Roles of Saltation Bombardment and Atmospheric Instability on Magnitude and Size Distribution of Dust Emission Fluxes: Lessons From the JADE and WIND‐O‐V Experiments

Abstract: The size distribution of the vertical flux of dust freshly emitted from a wind‐eroded surface was recently shown to depend on the thermal stratification of the surface boundary layer (SBL). These new results question the way dust emission is currently represented in the dust models and emphasize the need to identify the factors controlling the intensity and size‐resolved dust flux at emission. In this study, we re‐analyze the data of two major campaigns (JADE and WIND‐O‐V) performed on unvegetated plots and du… Show more

“…These results are similar to those obtained in Gomes et al (2003b) (corresponding to a soil nominally of silt loam texture in Spain), Gomes et al (2003c) (for a sandy soil with a very low clay and silt content in Niger), and the results of the soils 4 (sandy), 5 (sandy) and 9 (clay) reported in Gillette (1977). However, our values are on the lower end of the range reported in Gillette (1977) and Alfaro et al (2022), where most sandblasting All in all, our results highlight the prominence of saltation in our site, which produces strong diffusive fluxes despite the relatively low sandblasting efficiencies.…”

“…This value is larger than that reported in Gillette (1977) for most soils (b ≈ 3). Additionally, the saltation flux is higher for similar ranges of u * compared to Alfaro et al (2022) (their Fig. 4), where data of two major dust field campaigns (JADE and WIND-O-V) are re-analysed.…”

“…73 With that assumption, current emission models may underestimate microplastic emission potential from agricultural soils�missing around 61% of wind events, which are too low to move soil sediments but sufficient to initiate microplastic movement and drive their emission (Figure 3B). 74 The threshold wind velocity for microplastics can become even lower if both low density and low interparticle forces are accounted for. Microplastic particles are readily emitted from soil surfaces under low wind speed scenarios, which are more frequent.…”

“…The current models for fugitive dust emissions assume the soil surface to be stable with negligible dust emissions in the absence of wind speeds exceeding the saltation threshold of the soil or surface disturbances . With that assumption, current emission models may underestimate microplastic emission potential from agricultural soilsmissing around 61% of wind events, which are too low to move soil sediments but sufficient to initiate microplastic movement and drive their emission (Figure B) . The threshold wind velocity for microplastics can become even lower if both low density and low interparticle forces are accounted for.…”
