Abstract

The saltating particle aleurite mode has been discovered in the wind–sand flux over a desertified area. The approximation of the measured saltating particle distribution was found using two lognormal distribution functions. In the wind–sand flux, the countable concentrations of aleurite and sand particles depend differently on the wind velocity in the atmospheric surface layer.
