Abstract

To assess wind erosion as a source of atmospheric soil particles, vertical aerosol fluxes near the ground in an eroding field were computed by assuming a vertical transport mechanism similar to that for momentum. Aerosol gradients were measured by jet impactors located 1.5 and 6 m above the ground, and wind velocity gradients were measured by totalizing-three anemometers located 1.5, 3 and 6 m above the ground.

Information on the aerosol size distributions and quantity in the size range 0.3
