Coastal foredune topography as a control on secondary airflow regimes under offshore winds.

The article describes a study which examined dune geometry, wind velocity and lee-side airflow patterns. It discusses the impact of these factors along with sediment dynamics to morphodynamic evolution. It puts emphasis on long-term sediment drift budgets caused by process-scale airflow patterns. Lee-side airflow patterns are also examined at Magilligan Strand, Ireland utilizing ultrasonic anemometers and wind rose diagrams. It discusses the effects of varying dune size on wind flow.
