Abstract

This study conducted field observations in terms of the number of blown sand impacts and wind velocity at an open ocean beach in Japan, in order to investigate characteristics of the aeolian sand transport flux over a sand dune slope. Charnock constant of a roughness length equation calculated from wind velocity data had a larger value over the slope compared to over a flat. Furthermore, the aeolian flux over the slope tended to be larger than that over the flat. Characteristics of the Charnock constant and the aeolian flux over the flat and the slope were demonstrated from the field measurements.
