THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FROST ACTION AND SURFACE SOIL CHARACTERISTICS TO WIND EROSION AT ROCKY FLATS, COLORADO Third Progress Report

摘要

This report summarizes information on soil frost effects collected on Rocky Flats during the 1976-1977 winter. The work has continued on two scales as in the previous two winters.nOn a broad scale, empirical surveys along 4 line transects during the second half of the winter support earlier conclusions that the frost susceptibility of the Rocky Flats soils is well keyed to topography. This has been used in testing a mapping procedure for potential soil frost activity in the entire Rocky Flats area.
