A Field Investigation Study to Determine the Properties of Windblown Beach Sand
TLDR
In this article, a field investigation was carried out on the prototype beach to determine the properties of windblown sand and parameters governing the aerial transport, and the results suggest that the sand separates into two strata but the dynamics involved in this stratification process are still uncertain.Abstract:

Detecting impacts of sand grains with a microphone system in field conditions
TL;DR: The miniphone as mentioned in this paper is a modified electret microphone that detects the impacts of individual grains, which can be sampled at rates up to 44,100Hz using commonly available sound card technology or it can be interfaced with a data acquisition system.

Field Evaluation of Two Traps for High-Resolution Aeolian Transport Measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, two traps were developed to provide short-duration, high-resolution measurements of vertical and horizontal variability in aeolian mass flux in Oceano Dunes, CA, where the traps are partitioned into multiple compartments, each equipped with a separate electronic weighing system that provides a 1-Hz record of transport into that compartment.
Treatise on Geomorphology || 11.6 Fundamentals of Aeolian Sediment Transport: Wind-Blown Sand
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review some of the historical developments in the study of wind-blown sand, focusing on the major topics of: initiation of motion; modes, models, and complexities of transport; and measuring sand transport.
Coherent Structures and Aeolian Saltation
TL;DR: Coherent Structures and Aeolian Saltation as discussed by the authors is a well-known method for co-herent structures and co-located structures, and it can be applied to any environment.

Secondary Sand Transport Mechanisms
A.W. Smith,A.D. Gordon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanism for offshore-on-shore sediment transport is suggested based upon the interaction between wave energy and a work capacity parameter for the beach sediments, which is the most important mechanism for this transport mode.
