Wind erosion is mainly a surface phenomenon and is influenced directly by wind velocity in various strata near the ground through which soil particles rise in saltation. Therefore, a brief discussion about wind structure near the ground would be necessary for understanding the mechanics of soil movement by wind. Wind Structure Near the Ground: The […]
