Measurement uncertainties in quantifying aeolian mass flux: evidence from wind tunnel and field site data

Aeolian sediment traps are widely used to estimate the total volume of wind-driven sediment transport, but also to study the vertical mass distribution of a saltating sand cloud. The reliability of sediment flux estimations from such measurements are dependent upon the specific configuration of the...
