Field characterization of three-dimensional lee-side airflow patterns under offshore winds at a beach-dune system
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-05-22)Characterization of three-dimensional (3D) airflow remains elusive within a variety of environments and is particularly challenging over complex dune topography. Previous work examining airflow over and in the lee of dunes ...
