The influence of wind velocity on the size distributions of aerosols generated by the wind erosion of soils
Abstract
The relationship of the relative size distribution of soil wind erosion aerosols to wind velocity was examined in field measurements and wind tunnel simulations. The ratio of sedimentation velocity to friction velocity ((vertical momentum flux/air density)1/2) at which aerosol particles were significantly affected by settling was larger than 0.12 and smaller than 0.68. The shapes of the size distributions of soil wind erosion aerosols (2 μm < r < 10 μm) were fairly constant with wind speed. This result is evidence that the dominant mechanism of aerosol production by soil erosion is sandblasting of the soil surface.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
