“…The static bed is defined as having no changes in elevation or grain size characteristics during the timescale considered. Such a static bed was observed in all experiments and has also been observed in previous studies of Dutch beaches over the timescale of years (de Vries et al., 2015). The elevation of the static bed is assumed to be controlled by physical properties, such as grain size, surface moisture, and transport capacity.…”

Coastal aeolian sediment transport is influenced by supply-limiting factors caused by sediment sorting by grain size. Sorting processes can lead to coarsening of the bed surface and influence the formation of aeolian ripples. However, the influence sorting processes and bedforms might have on the magnitude of the transport is not fully understood. This study explores sorting processes and their influence on the magnitude and mode of aeolian transport by using sediment tracers. Sand was painted in different colors according to particle size and placed on a supratidal beach in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Several experiments were conducted with varying wind
