In this paper, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulence and Lagrangian model of sand particle motion are adopted to study the characteristics of wind-blown sand flow for different boundary layer thickness. The simulations are conducted within computational domain height (boundary layer thickness) of δ = 0.5 m, 1 m, 5 m and 12 m, respectively. It is found by comparing the computational results that the mass flux and sand transport rate increase with the increase of boundary layer thickness for the same frictional wind velocity, and the fluctuation of particle velocity and sand transport rate increase significantly too. The spatial scales of particle structure, defined by the correlation of sand particle concentration, significantly increase with δ, so does the time scale of statistical stability of sand transport rate. For two computational domains of δ = 1 m and 12 m, the statistical relative error of sand transport rate reduce to less than 5 % only when the average time goes higher than 45 δ/Ub, where Ub is the bulk fluid velocity. In the context of turbulence, it might take about 10 mins to obtain reliable sand statistics in the neutral atmospheric boundary layer whose boundary layer thickness is about 100–200 m.

本文采用湍流大涡模拟(LES)和沙粒运动拉格朗日模型,研究了不同边界层厚度下的风沙流动特性。模拟分别在δ = 0.5 m、1 m、5 m和12 m的计算域高度(边界层厚度)范围内进行。对比计算结果发现,在相同的摩擦风速下,质量通量和输沙率随边界层厚度的增加而增加,颗粒速度和输沙率的波动也显著增加。以沙粒浓度相关性定义的颗粒结构空间尺度随δ显著增大,输沙率统计稳定性时间尺度随δ显著增大。对于δ = 1 m和12 m两个计算域,只有当平均时间大于45 δ/Ub (Ub为体流体速度)时,输沙率的统计相对误差才减小到5%以下。在湍流环境下,在边界层厚度约为100-200 m的中性大气边界层中,获得可靠的沙尘统计可能需要10分钟左右。

We present initial results of an investigation into meteorological and geological controls on the formation of dust devils (i.e., dust-filled vortices formed in the daytime dry convective boundary layer). During a 2-week field campaign in June 2019 at Smith Creek Valley (SCV), Nevada, USA, we conducted automated time-lapse stereo imaging of dust devils (DDs), while monitoring local meteorological conditions with a broad suite of instruments. Counts of imaged dust devils from two near-cloudless days were compared with a standard suite of atmospheric measurements from a weather tower, eddy correlation flux measurements, and ceilometer backscatter returns. DDs forming in moderate winds (5–8.5 m/s) were more likely to be relatively wide and disorganized, with qualitatively low dust opacity, whereas those forming in weaker winds were more likely to be coherent, dusty, well-formed conical or cylindrical structures. The daily maximum DD counts at SCV occurred shortly after their onset in late morning (11:00–12:00 local time), coinciding with a surge in CBL growth that was likely delayed by the thermal properties of the playa. This late morning peak contrasts with previous studies conducted elsewhere that typically observed peak DD counts in the afternoon. As observed in previous field studies, DDs formed in highly convective conditions, when the heat flux (H) and friction velocity (u) were elevated and the convective ratio w/u exceeded ∼ 4 (i.e., -h/L exceeded ∼ 25). However, values of>4w/u also occurred in mid-morning, prior to DD formation and CBL growth, suggesting that this metric is not the sole condition required for DD generation. Aside from the late morning maxima, DD counts fluctuated considerably throughout the afternoon at timescales of 0.5–2  h–correlating poorly with fluctuations in H and u, and not at all with either w/u or the Monin-Obukhov length (L). Several factors, such as local variations in surface thermal properties and meteorology, may be responsible for these short-term fluctuations.

我们提出了对尘卷风形成的气象和地质控制的初步调查结果(即在白天干对流边界层中形成的充满灰尘的涡旋)。2019年6月,在美国内华达州史密斯溪谷(Smith Creek Valley, SCV)为期两周的野外活动中,我们对沙尘暴(dd)进行了自动定时立体成像,同时使用一系列仪器监测当地气象条件。在两个几乎无云的日子里拍摄的尘卷图像的数量与一套标准的大气测量数据进行了比较,这些数据来自气象塔、涡流相关通量测量和ceilometer的反向散射返回。在中等风速(5-8.5 m/s)下形成的坑道更有可能相对较宽且杂乱无章,粉尘不透明度较低,而在较弱风速下形成的坑道更有可能是连贯的、多尘的、形状良好的圆锥形或圆柱形结构。SCV的每日最大DD计数发生在上午晚些时候(当地时间11:00-12:00)开始后不久,与CBL增长的激增相吻合,这可能是由于playa的热性质延迟的。这个上午晚些时候的峰值与之前在其他地方进行的研究形成鲜明对比,这些研究通常在下午观察到DD的峰值。在以往的野外研究中观察到,当热流密度(H)和摩擦速度(u∗)升高,对流比w∗/u∗超过4(即-h/L超过~ 25)时,dd形成于强对流条件下。然而,>4w∗/u∗的值也出现在上午中期,在DD形成和CBL生长之前,这表明该指标不是DD产生所需的唯一条件。除了上午晚些时候的最大值外,DD数在整个下午在0.5-2 H的时间尺度上波动很大,与H和u∗的波动相关性很差,与w∗/u∗或莫宁-奥布霍夫长度(L)完全无关。一些因素,如地表热特性和气象学的局部变化,可能是这些短期波动的原因。

Buildings affect aeolian sediment transport and bedform development in sandy environments. Cellular automaton (CA) models have, however, only been used to simulate natural bedform dynamics. This study extends a well-known aeolian CA model to include sediment dynamics around buildings, and uses this model to explore the interaction of building-induced deposition and erosion with natural bedform dynamics. New CA rules are introduced to represent acceleration, deceleration and sideward transport of sediment around obstacles. The simulated deposition and erosion patterns show good agreement with field experiments. The model reproduces the shape and location of the morphological pattern around a single building, and effects of building spacing on this pattern for building groups. Model results further demonstrate that building-induced effects interact with local bedform dynamics and can alter the shape, growth and migration of sand dunes.

在沙质环境中,建筑物影响风沙输运和河床发育。然而,元胞自动机(CA)模型仅用于模拟自然的河床动力学。本研究扩展了一个著名的风成CA模型,将建筑物周围的泥沙动力学纳入其中,并利用该模型探索建筑物引起的沉积和侵蚀与自然河床动力学的相互作用。引入新的CA规则来表示泥沙在障碍物周围的加速、减速和侧向移动。模拟的沉积和侵蚀模式与现场试验结果吻合较好。该模型再现了单个建筑周围形态格局的形状和位置,以及建筑间距对建筑群形态格局的影响。模型结果进一步表明,建筑效应与局部地形动力学相互作用,可以改变沙丘的形状、生长和迁移。

The formation and development of blowouts is an important surface indication of sand drift activity in semiarid grassland areas; thus, an accurate understanding of their morphological evolution characteristics and dynamic processes is of significance for grassland desertification control. This study analyzed the long-term topographic change of a trough blowout developed on a fixed sand dune in the Otindag sandy land of China via ground measurements from 2011 to 2020 and examined the short-term airflow structure through field observations. The results indicated that the area of the deflation basin shows a state of continuous growth. The expansion of the deflation basin was most obvious on the western, southwestern and southern slopes, which is contrary to the regional prevailing wind direction. As airflow passes over the blowout, there is significant airflow steering with the change in topography, and the degrees of airflow steering and acceleration are determined by the direction of the approaching wind. Airflow expands and decelerates on the leeward side of the deflation basin, causing flow separation and producing a recirculation zone on the sheltered lee slopes. Based on a detailed analysis of the results, we suggest that the soil collapse and sand avalanches caused by vortices are the main reasons for the upwind expansion of the deflation basin. Collectively, these findings reveal a strong link between the blowout morphology and the airflow pattern.

井喷的形成与发展是半干旱草原地区沙流活动的重要地表标志;因此,准确认识它们的形态演化特征和动态过程对草地沙漠化防治具有重要意义。通过2011 - 2020年的地面观测,分析了中国敖廷达沙地固定沙丘上槽状喷流的长期地形变化,并通过野外观测考察了槽状喷流的短期气流结构。结果表明,收缩盆地面积呈持续增长状态。坳陷盆地的扩张在西、西南和南坡最为明显,与区域盛行风向相反。气流经过喷口时,随着地形的变化,气流发生明显的转向,气流转向的程度和加速程度由接近风的方向决定。气流在泄放盆地的背风面扩张和减速,导致气流分离,并在避风的背风坡上产生再循环区。通过对结果的详细分析,我们认为涡旋引起的土壤崩塌和沙崩是收缩盆地逆风扩张的主要原因。总的来说,这些发现揭示了喷流形态和气流模式之间的紧密联系。

Wedge dunes are widespread on Mars and contain important information about Mars surface processes and environmental characteristics. These dunes are wedge-shaped in plan-view, similar in scale to a barchan dune, with two slip faces intersecting at an obtuse angle and extending outward toward the main ridge downwind. And, the length of its main ridge does not exceed its width. At present, our understanding of wedge dunes and their development in nature is limited. The type, morphology, distribution and spatial composition of wedge dunes on Mars and Earth were investigated using high-resolution satellite image data. The results reveal that wedge dunes are simple in type and similar in size to barchan dunes. Martian wedge dunes are similar in shape to terrestrial wedge dunes but larger in size. The average angles between the sub-ridges of Martian and terrestrial wedge dunes are similar, at about 116°. Martian wedge dunes are mainly located in Abalos Undae, Siton Undae, and Aspledon Undae in the North Polar region, accounting for about 5% of the total area covered by dune fields. Wedge dunes are rare on Earth and can only be found on the edge of a few contiguous dune fields. These dunes indicate acute bimodal or obtuse bimodal wind regimes. Wedge dunes have distinct transitional characteristics and may be the initial stage of the development of various dune patterns. The implications of these findings are discussed, in particular the periodic changes in the regional wind direction reflected by the wedge dunes, as well as the significance of the distinctive transitional features of the wedge dunes for improving our understanding of the genesis of complex dune patterns.

楔形沙丘在火星上分布广泛,包含了火星表面过程和环境特征的重要信息。这些沙丘在平面上呈楔形,在规模上类似于barchan沙丘,两个滑面以钝角相交,并向下风的主脊向外延伸。而且,它的主脊的长度不超过它的宽度。目前,我们对楔形沙丘及其在自然界中的发育认识有限。利用高分辨率卫星影像资料,研究了火星和地球上楔形沙丘的类型、形态、分布和空间组成。结果表明,楔形沙丘类型简单,大小与barchan沙丘相近。火星上的楔形沙丘与地球上的楔形沙丘形状相似,但规模更大。火星和地球上的楔形沙丘子脊之间的平均角度相似,约为116°。火星楔形沙丘主要分布在北极地区的Abalos Undae、Siton Undae和Aspledon Undae,约占沙丘场总面积的5%。楔形沙丘在地球上很罕见,只能在几个相邻的沙丘地带的边缘找到。这些沙丘显示急性双峰或钝双峰风况。楔形沙丘具有明显的过渡性特征,可能是各种沙丘形态发育的初始阶段。讨论了这些发现的意义,特别是楔形沙丘所反映的区域风向的周期性变化,以及楔形沙丘独特的过渡性特征对提高我们对复杂沙丘格局成因的认识的意义。

Frontal dust storms are rare but important weather events in southern Iran affecting visibility and air quality, especially in urban areas. This study investigated the main characteristics of the 13 May 2018 frontal dust storm in Shiraz. The evaluation was based on geostatistical models, and mineralogical, elemental and isotopic data. The mean and median concentrations of major and trace elements followed the order Ca > Al > Fe > Mg > K > Na > Ti > Mn > Zn > V > Cr > Ni > Cu > Pb > Co > Cd, in agreement with the mineralogical composition of dust samples. The spatial distributions of the potentially toxic elements (PTEs) show that the concentrations were higher in the central sectors of city, likely due to the higher population density and traffic volume. Integrated source characterization coupled with positive matrix factorization (PMF) identified that the PTEs sources were geogenic, anthropogenic, and sea salt related. Geochemical isotopic methods, δ18O and δ13C values along with hybrid single-particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory (HYSPLIT) analysis suggest that the dust storm mainly originated from Saudi Arabia. However, local lithological units and resuspended street dust also played an important role in the elemental distributions. These results also indicate that combining various datasets can be beneficial in characterizing the sources of dust storms and their components in southwestern Iran.

锋面沙尘暴是伊朗南部罕见但重要的天气事件,影响能见度和空气质量,特别是在城市地区。本研究调查了2018年5月13日设拉子锋面沙尘暴的主要特征。评价是基于地质统计模型、矿物学、元素和同位素数据。主要元素和微量元素的平均浓度和中位数浓度依次为Ca >阿尔比;菲比;Mg祝辞K比;Na在Ti祝辞Mn祝辞锌比;V比;Cr祝辞倪祝辞铜比;Pb祝辞公司在Cd,与粉尘样品的矿物组成一致。潜在有毒元素(PTEs)的空间分布表明,城市中心区域的浓度较高,这可能与人口密度和交通量较高有关。综合源表征与正矩阵分解(PMF)相结合,确定了pte源与地源、人为源和海盐有关。地球化学同位素方法、δ18O和δ13C值以及混合单粒子拉格朗日积分轨迹(HYSPLIT)分析表明,此次沙尘暴主要源自沙特阿拉伯。然而,局部岩性单元和重悬浮尘对元素分布也起着重要作用。这些结果还表明,将不同的数据集结合起来可以有助于表征伊朗西南部沙尘暴的来源及其组成部分。

The Keeler Dunes Complex is an active dune field located on the northwest corner of Owens (dry) Lake, California. Previous studies (Lancaster and McCarley-Holder, 2013) implicated the exposed surface of the Owens River Delta as the source of sediment for the Keeler Dunes based on the calculation of the Resultant Drift Potential (RDP). Measurements from sand flux monitoring stations located between the Owens River Delta and Keeler Dunes were used to determine the accuracy of using RDP for estimating actual sand transportation. It was found that the net average direction of sand transportation in this area (133°) was not accurately predicted by RDP (97°). Therefore, prior conclusions based on RDP erroneously attributed sediment from the Owens River Delta as a source for the Keeler Dunes. Since RDP calculations are widely used and a convenient method for determining the direction and magnitude of net sand transportation based on meteorological measurements, methods for modifying the RDP to achieve better agreement with sand flux measurements are desirable. Two modifications were found to improve the agreement between calculated RDP and measured sand transportation: 1) accounting for temporal variability in sediment availability (RDP = 130°), and 2) utilization of an area-specific threshold friction velocity (RDP = 129°). Combining these two modifications also resulted in good agreement (RDP = 137°) with the measured sand transportation but did not improve agreement further. These findings suggest that information about surface characteristics (sediment availability and surface roughness) are important to consider when estimating sand transportation based on wind energy.

基勒沙丘群是一个活跃的沙丘场,位于加利福尼亚州欧文斯(干)湖的西北角。先前的研究(Lancaster和McCarley-Holder, 2013)基于合成漂移势(RDP)的计算,暗示欧文斯河三角洲的暴露表面是基勒沙丘的沉积物来源。利用位于欧文斯河三角洲和基勒沙丘之间的沙通量监测站的测量数据,确定了使用RDP估算实际沙输运的准确性。结果表明,该地区的净平均输沙方向(133°)不能用RDP(97°)准确预测。因此,先前基于RDP的结论错误地将欧文斯河三角洲的沉积物作为基勒沙丘的来源。由于RDP计算被广泛使用,并且是根据气象测量确定净输沙方向和大小的方便方法,因此需要修改RDP以使其与沙通量测量结果更好地一致。研究发现,有两种修正方法可以改善计算的RDP和测量的输沙量之间的一致性:1)考虑沉积物有效性的时间变化(RDP = 130°),以及2)利用特定区域的阈值摩擦速度(RDP = 129°)。将这两种修正方法结合使用,结果与实测输砂量吻合良好(RDP = 137°),但没有进一步改善。这些发现表明,在估算风能输沙量时,有关地表特征(沉积物可利用性和地表粗糙度)的信息是重要的考虑因素。

Dune fields on the Southern High Plains such as the Monahans in West Texas are archives of Quaternary environmental variability. Stratigraphic analyses and sixty-one optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages from seven Geoprobe cores and one section from the Monahans reveal a ∼ 550 ka old aeolian sedimentary record with seven carbonate/argillic paleosols and a playa-lake margin deposit. OSL ages on quartz-grains from aeolian sediments by two protocols, single aliquot regeneration (SAR) and thermal transfer (TT), yield congruent ages between 50 and 250 ka, and the oldest ages of ca. 550 ka, potentially minima. This chronostratigraphic analysis and finite-mixture modeling of the OSL-age distribution identify-four aeolian depositional periods (ADP) at 545 to 475, 300 to 260, 70 to 45, and post 16 ka and possibly-two additional ADPs 460 to 420 ka and 350 to 320 ka. Playa lake deposits identified west of the Monahans and correlative to carbonate-rich paleosols indicate that wetter conditions prevailed during interglacial MIS 7, 235 to 195 ka. Another wetter period, 25 to 16 ka, with the formation of Lake King in the adjacent Rio Grande Valley is correlative with a pedogenically-modified <2 m-thick aeolian sand. This study underscores that there may be multiple climatic states, during glacials and interglacials, associated with wetter conditions. In turn, the thickest, preserved aeolian deposits are associated with transitional climate periods, penecontemporaneous with stadials, when the Laurentide ice sheet was <80 % of the last glacial maximum volume, with precipitation-bearing zonal circulation shifted northward and weakened meridional moisture flux.

南部高平原上的沙丘地带,如西德克萨斯州的莫纳汉地区,是第四纪环境变化的档案。7个Geoprobe岩心和莫纳汉地区的1个剖面的地层分析和61个光学激发发光(OSL)年龄揭示了一个约550 ka的风成沉积记录,包括7个碳酸盐/泥质古土壤和一个湖湖边缘沉积物。风沙沉积物中石英颗粒的OSL年龄采用两种协议,即单一等值再生(SAR)和热传递(TT),结果一致年龄在50 ~ 250 ka之间,最老年龄约为550 ka,可能最小。通过年代地层分析和有限混合模拟,确定了545 ~ 475ka、300 ~ 260,70 ~ 45,16 ka后的4个风成沉积期(ADP),以及460 ~ 420ka和350 ~ 320 ka的另外2个ADP。在莫纳汉西部发现的普拉亚湖沉积物与碳酸盐丰富的古土壤相关,表明在间冰期MIS 7, 235至195 ka期间普遍存在湿润条件。另一个湿润期,25 - 16 ka,与邻近的里奥格兰德河谷国王湖的形成有关,与土壤改良的2米厚的风成沙有关。这项研究强调,在冰期和间冰期期间,可能存在与湿润条件相关的多种气候状态。而保存最厚的风成沉积物则与过渡气候期有关,与冰期准同生有关,此时劳伦泰冰盖的体积为末次冰期最大体积的80%,降水纬向环流向北移动,经向水汽通量减弱。

Accurate description of the characteristics of erosion and deposition around single model plants of different shapes is important to evaluate the protective role of plants in wind erosion control. The variation of bed topography with time was measured in a wind tunnel for two flexible models and two rigid tree-like models. The bed surface height close to the plant decreases forming a deep well, while in the lee, a deposition area generally appears whose shape is affected by plant type. The local wind erosion rate on both sides usually decreases with time, and the deposition area in the lee with the local erosion rate less than zero gradually moves downwind with time while disappears for the tree-like plant model with a long trunk and a large crown. Under similar frontal areas of plants, both the erosion and deposition areas around the tree-like plant with a short trunk and conical crown, and the flexible plant with a large upper part and a small lower part are generally larger than that around the slender flexible plant. The rigid tree-like plant with a short trunk and a dense conical crown is better for erosion control due to the smallest net erosion rate and the erosion area similar to the deposition area, while the other plant models have larger net erosion rate and much larger erosion area.

准确描述不同形状的单一模式植物周围的侵蚀和沉积特征,对评价植物在风蚀防治中的保护作用具有重要意义。在风洞中测量了两种柔性模型和两种刚性树状模型的床层地形随时间的变化。靠近植物的床面高度降低形成深井,而在背风处普遍出现沉积区,其形状受植物类型的影响。两侧局地风蚀率通常随时间而减小,局地风蚀率小于零的背风面沉积区随时间逐渐下风移动,长树干大树冠的树状植物模型则消失。在植物正面面积相似的情况下,树干短、冠状的树形植物和上部大、下部小的柔性植物周围的侵蚀沉积面积普遍大于细长柔性植物周围的侵蚀沉积面积。树干较短、树冠浓密的刚性树状植物净侵蚀速率最小,侵蚀面积与沉积面积相近,对侵蚀控制效果较好,而其他植物模型净侵蚀速率较大,侵蚀面积大得多。

The preservation of the sedimentary deposits of arid environments is determined by both geomorphic and geologic processes. Sedimentary evidence of aeolian-fluvial system interactions in arid-climate settings are preserved in both recent and ancient sedimentary successions. However, despite considerable prior sedimentological research, there is no unifying scheme to provide generalized definitions of commonly occurring types of preserved aeolian-fluvial interactions. This study addresses this shortcoming by introducing a novel classification scheme for sedimentary architectures arising from such system interactions. The scheme is demonstrated through reference to examples from the Permian Cutler Group, Paradox Basin, Southeast Utah, USA – a sedimentary record of competing aeolian dune-field and fluvial-fan systems along a palaeo-coastline. Well-preserved, laterally continuous outcrops arranged in different orientations enable three-dimensional architectural characterization. The sedimentary record of eight distinct types of aeolian-fluvial interaction are identified: (i) water-table-controlled interdune sedimentation; (ii) deposits of low-energy fluvial floods; (iii) isolated fluvial channel-fills originating from episodic and confined flooding of interdunes in orientations parallel to the trend of dune crestlines; (iv) channel fills oriented perpendicular to the trend of dune crestlines; (v) amalgamated fluvial channel elements resulting from persistent, long-lived but confined dune-field flooding; (vi) deposits of unconfined sheet-like flood deposits; (vii) fluvial breaching of dunes and their reworking by catastrophic flooding; (viii) aeolian reworking of fluvial deposits. Each interaction type is characterized in terms of preserved sedimentary facies, architectural element geometries and associated proprieties, to demonstrate sedimentary variability in three dimensions. Results provide a guide with which to make sedimentological comparisons and interpretations between active systems and their preserved depositional record.

干旱环境下沉积沉积物的保存是由地貌和地质作用共同决定的。在最近和古代的沉积序列中都保存了干旱气候环境下风成—河流系统相互作用的沉积证据。然而,尽管已有相当多的沉积学研究,但对于保存下来的风成—河流相互作用的常见类型,并没有统一的方案来提供广义的定义。本研究通过引入一种新的由这种系统相互作用产生的沉积建筑分类方案来解决这一缺点。该方案通过参考美国犹他州东南部Paradox盆地的二叠纪Cutler组的例子进行了论证,该组是沿古海岸线竞争的风成沙丘场和河流扇系统的沉积记录。保存完好,横向连续的露头排列在不同的方向,使三维建筑特征。确定了8种不同类型的风成—河流相互作用的沉积记录:(1)控制水位的丘间沉积;(ii)低能河流洪水沉积物;(iii)孤立的河道填充物源于平行于沙丘顶线走向的沙丘间的偶发性和限制性洪水;(iv)垂直于沙丘顶线走向的河道填充物;(v)由持续、长期但受限制的沙丘区淹水造成的混合河道元素;(vi)无约束片状洪水沉积物;(vii)河流对沙丘的破坏和因特大洪水造成的沙丘改造;(viii)河流沉积物的风成再造。每种相互作用类型都以保存的沉积相、建筑元素几何形状和相关性质为特征,以展示三维的沉积变异性。研究结果为活动体系与其保存的沉积记录之间的沉积学比较和解释提供了指导。
