Patterns of grain-size temporal variation of sediment transported by overland flow associated with moving storms: interpreting soil flume experiments

This study describes and interprets the evolution of grain-size distribution of sediment yields generated in an experimental soil flume subjected to downstream and upstream moving rain storms. Results of laboratory experiments show that downstream moving storms cause more soil loss than do upstream...
