We proposed a method that uses analogous particles having lower densities compared to actual gravel, considering the threshold velocity for gravel is too large to imitate in a typical wind tunnel. We first conducted a preliminary experiment, which confirmed that the threshold velocity for denser prototype particles can be estimated from the density ratios of the analogous and prototype particles. Furthermore, a main experiment was conducted to analyze different road surface textures using pumice stones, as their particle density is less than that of gravels. The results showed that coarser road surfaces exhibited larger threshold velocities for the gravel movement. Quantitatively, the coarsest asphalt concrete exhibited a threshold velocity that was 2.5 times larger than that of the smoothest surface (cement concrete). However, surface coarseness was dependent on the particle size, whereas the effect of particles trapped by the gaps in surfaces was more dominant than the fluid force acting on the particles of a relatively coarse surface. This force balance is reversed for a smooth surface, which indicates the possibility of determining threshold friction velocity from the particle size and surface texture coarseness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49246,"journal":{"name":"Aeolian Research","volume":"54 ","pages":"Article 100775"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44055282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results determined the age of the top of MGS1 to be 11.6 ± 0.9 ka BP, and Mz and σ values in the dune sands to be lower than those in the corresponding fluviolacustrine or paleosols<span>. Furthermore, Zr/Rb also exhibited low values in the dune sands and a relatively high content in the fluviolacustrine and paleosols. Both grain-size and Zr/Rb ratios displayed 11 cycles similar to the sedimentation changes, while the Zr/Rb ratios were observed to correlate with Mz and σ. The results suggested that the cycles resulted from the fluctuations between cold-dry and warm-humid climates, and the MGS1 segment experienced at least 11 cold-dry and warm-humid climatic fluctuations. This type of high-frequency climatic fluctuation on a millennial time-scale is related to variations in the strength of the East Asian winter and summer monsoons during the Holocene Period.

The three-dimensional (3D) quantitative methods applied in this study provide an opportunity to build on previous two-dimensional (2D) work on dunefield evolution at this site (Lancaster and McCarley-Holder, 2013 [LM2013]). The 3D quantitative methods permitted the identification and quantification of two specific regions of the Keeler Dunes not previously described or considered. With the two new regions included in the time-series analysis, the Keeler Dunes are shown to be stable from a volume perspective since the mid-1990s, with a decrease between the late 1970s and mid-1990s. These results differ from the threefold increase reported during the same timeframe using 2D techniques by LM2013. While the Keeler Dunes were found to be stable from a volume perspective, they underwent significant geomorphological changes during this period. As the semi-active and vegetated dune mounds reactivated, depositional aprons of newly mobile sand advanced downwind. Over time, the depositional aprons formed linear dunes (in the northern dunefield) and crescentic dunes (in the southern dunefield) that are still present today. Fundamentally, the quantitative photogrammetric-based approach in this work provides significant new insight into the evolution and origin of the modern Keeler Dunes.

Stratified random sampling was used to evaluate potential PM₁₀ fluxes from eight landforms, as determined by high-resolution satellite imagery and ground observations, found within the vicinity of the Keeler Dunes. Within each landform, potential PM₁₀ flux for one or more representative surface types was measured. A total of seven surface types were identified, several of which existed on different landforms. The results indicate that the major determinant of potential PM₁₀ flux is the landform type. Furthermore, the highest potential PM₁₀ fluxes are from landforms characterized by surface deposition of alluvial sediment. Within the Keeler Dunes Complex, these landforms are associated with the severely eroded 1944 shoreline coppice dunes, flash flood channels, and flash flood deposits. In the Owens Valley, studies of dust emissions have tended to focus on aeolian landforms. However, similar to measurements of potential PM₁₀ flux from desert landforms across the globe, this investigation points to the importance of alluvial landforms as major sources of dust emissions within the Owens Valley region.

The results demonstrated that the sediment transport rate above the gobi surface was larger than that above a sandy surface, with rates as high as 9.7 kg m^-1h⁻¹. The transport flux can be expressed as a Gaussian peak function, with the maximum sediment transport at 0.05 to 0.09 m above the surface. Principal-components analysis (PCA) indicated that the mean grain size of the transported sediment was controlled mainly by the content of silt and clay (&lt;63 μm) and fine sand (125 to 250 μm); this explains the inflection height for sediment transport. PCA also indicated that dry lacustrine deposits were the main sediment source in the study region. About 90% of the cumulative sediment transport occurs at a height below 0.65 m. Our results indicate that sediment transported over a gobi surface has higher trajectories and longer distances than above a sandy surface.
