Scientific paper

Japanese Australian Dust Experiment-JADE was launched in April 2005 as a three year project. The project aims to gain a better understanding of wind erosion processes, including multi-size saltation, multi-size dust emission, and the meteorological/soil-physical conditions that control wind erosion. JADE also aims to develop and test a new wind erosion theory, that will explain the heterogeneous process of wind erosion. This will be incorporated into a numerical wind erosion model to predict streamwise saltation flux and dust emission from the surface. Field experiments are planned on cultivated and pasture land in the Lower Murray Darling Catchment of Australia. Multi-size saltation process and dust emission will be monitored using newly developed sand particle counter (SPC) and optical particle counter (OPC). A portable wind tunnel will be used to calibrate these sensors with orthodox methods and instruments. The first intensive observation is planed in March next year.
