Aerodynamic roughness of rippled beds under active saltation at Earth-to-Mars atmospheric pressures

Abstract As winds blow over sand, grains are mobilized and reorganized into bedforms such as ripples and dunes. In turn, sand transport and bedforms affect the winds themselves. These complex interactions between winds and sediment render modeling of windswept landscapes challenging. A critical para...
