Barchan dune asymmetry: Observations from Mars and Earth
0019-1035/$ see front matter 2009 Elsevier Inc. A doi:10.1016/j.icarus.2009.08.023 * Address: Planetary Science Institute, 1700 E. Ft. Lo USA. Fax: +1 520 795 3697. E-mail address: [email protected]. Barchan dune asymmetry refers to the extension of one barchan limb downwind. It is a common dune form on Earth and also occurs on Mars and Titan. A new classification of barchan limbs is presented wh...
متن کاملBarchan dune asymmetry: Numerical investigation
Barchan dunes — crescent-shaped dunes that form in areas of unidirectional winds and low sand availability — commonly display an asymmetric shape, with one limb extended downwind. Several factors have been identified as potential causes for barchan dune asymmetry on Earth and Mars: asymmetric bimodal wind regime, topography, influx asymmetry and dune collision. However, the dynamics and potenti...

متن کاملThe distribution of Transverse Aeolian Ridges on Mars
Introduction: Mars is host to a wide range of aeolian forms such as dunes, ripples, dust devils, dust storms, yardangs, and ventifacts. Large dune fields characterized by low albedos and large duneform sizes have been observed and occur mainly around the north polar cap and in the southern mid-latitudes. However, another morphologically and dimensionally distinct population of aeolian bedforms ...
متن کاملVarieties of Barchan Form in the Namib Desert and on Mars
Introduction: Barchans are individual, mobile, crescentic shape dunes, the two horns of which face in the direction of movement. Generally they occur in areas of limited sand supply, with a low precipitation and vegetation cover, on planar surfaces and where winds are unimodal to narrowly bimodal. On Mars, the most common dune is transverse and within the barchan group there is a wide variety o...
