Numerical data for "Force distribution within a barchan dune"
This dataset contains information from numerical simulations on the distribution of forces within a subaqueous barchan dune. The files contain information of the contact forces between two particles (in contact force 0.5 s folder), and the resultant ...

Diachronic analysis to detect and monitor Barchan dune migration in Ain Salah (Algeria)
The aim of this work is to analyze deposit patterns and their effect on urban and agricultural areas in the Ain Salah region in southern Algeria. A supervised classification of Landsat images over a 13-year period (2005, 2009, 2013, and 2017) was applied

A barchan dune near Tarfaya in Morocco has been surveyed using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) revealing packages of dipping strata within the dune that are truncated by bounding surfaces. The bounding surfaces dip in the downwind direction, truncate sets

Migration and Morphology of Asymmetric Barchans in the Central Hexi Corridor of Northwest China
Crescent-shaped barchan dunes often display an asymmetric shape, with one limb longer than the other. As shown in previous studies, asymmetric bimodal winds constitute one major cause of barchan asymmetry, but the heterogeneous conditions of sand ...

Size distribution and structure of Barchan dune fields [PDF]
Barchans are isolated mobile dunes often organized in large dune fields. Dune fields seem to present a characteristic dune size and spacing, which suggests a cooperative behavior based on dune interaction. In Duran et al.

Classifying barchan outlines into morphological classes using convolutional neural networks : a proof of concept [PDF]
Thesis (PhD (Geography))--University of Pretoria, 2022.Remotely sensed imagery is a valuable source of data for studying barchan morphology. However, manual methods of data extraction constrain both the spatial and temporal resolution of studies because ...

DETECTION OF BARCHAN DUNES IN HIGH RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGES [PDF]
Barchan dunes are the fastest moving sand dunes in the desert. We developed a process to detect barchans dunes on High resolution satellite images. It consisted of three steps, we first enhanced the image using histogram equalization and noise reduction ...
