Feedback upon dust emission by dust radiative forcing through the planetary boundary layer (2004, background): “Observations and laboratory measurements demonstrate that emission is a highly nonlinear function of wind speed, and that intense albeit infrequent gusts contribute a disproportionate amount to the total emission [Shao, 2000].”
Comparison of Unimodal Analytical Expressions for the Soil-Water Retention Curve (2005, background): “5 | |)]2/(m 2) water movement ceases (Nitao and Bear, 1996), as the air[4] dry water content (Shao, 2000), as the water content close to where m is a parameter which accounts for the dependence the permanent wilting point of most plants, that is, at of the tortuosity and the correlation factors on t”
The physics of wind-blown loess: Implications for grain size proxy interpretations in Quaternary paleoclimate studies (2016, background): “In the atmospheric surface layer turbulent kinetic energy is generatedmainly bywind shear, with a secondary contribution frombuoyancy due to air heated at the surface, and dissipated through a cascade process from large to small eddies and eventually to molecular motion (Stull, 1988; Shao, 2008).”
Dynamical mechanisms controlling the vertical redistribution of dust and the thermodynamic structure of the West Saharan atmospheric boundary layer during summer (2009, background): “Lighter Saharan dust particles ( d 10 µ m) can travel large distances around the globe (Shao, 2000).”
The AFWA dust emission scheme for the GOCART aerosol model in WRF-Chem v3.8.1 (2019, methodology): “…we also discuss the third dust emission scheme currently available for WRF-Chem GOCART, commonly referred to as the University of Cologne (UoC) emission scheme (based on Shao, 2001, 2004; Shao et al., 2011) and how it might be expected to perform differently by comparing it with the AFWA scheme.”
An improved dust emission model – Part 1: Model description and comparison against measurements (2014, background): “Because of their small size, dust particles in soils (<62.5 µm diameter; Shao, 2008) experience cohesive forces that are large compared to aerodynamic and gravitational forces.”
Dust cycle: An emerging core theme in Earth system science (2011, background): “Shao (2008) derived potential dust source regions by combining dust weather records, visibility data and topography, landuse and vegetation data (Fig.”
Spatial grain size sorting in eolian ripples and estimation of wind conditions on planetary surfaces: Application to Meridiani Planum, Mars (2006, background): “Observations in air [Bagnold, 1941; Chepil, 1945; Bagnold, 1966; Gillette and Goodwin, 1974; Sagan and Bagnold, 1975; Nishimura and Hunt, 2000; Shao, 2000] and underwater [e.g., Niño et al., 2003] have empirically related transport style to ws/u*, with the following general results (for u* >…”
On the contribution of natural Aeolian sources to particulate matter concentrations in Europe: Testing hypotheses with a modelling approach (2005, background): “Erosion Emissions result from the saltation process (Shao, 2000), where small particles are extracted from the soil by the ‘‘bombing’’ from coarser soil particles due to wind transport.”
