Abstract
THE primary experiments on which the foregoing results are based were made in a small wind tunnel. It was obvious that subsequent verification, by field measurements of wind velocity distributions up to a much greater height and of the actual sand movement in the open, would not only confirm the correctness of the deductions but would allow of other tunnel experiments being applied to sand problems in general with far greater confidence.
