The effect of sea cliffs on inland encroachment of aeolian sand

摘要: The effect of sea cliffs on aeolian sand encroachment inland was monitored by means traps measuring the transport and microanemometers wind flow, because these are affected topography cliffs. Measurements were carried out two in southern coastal-plain Israel: one 160 m second 240 long, with front slope inclination 30° to 40° a height 22-25 m. Results show that is incapable climbing even moderate cliff slopes 10°-15° storm impinges at angles 45° 50° rim diverted flow helical pattern parallel shoreline along sand-moving again deflected northern end cliffs, where its magnitude abates it thus deposits being beach. beach foot represents non-homogeneous secondary wind. accelerated cliff, as result increases cliff. After length 150-200 state equilibrium achieved.
