DOIAbstract
The wind transports sand from the beach to the dunes, causing dune growth. This process takes months to years. Predicting Aeolian sand transport on these time scales is difficult, as existing models only use wind speed as a variable under ideal conditions. Aeolian transport on narrow (<100 m) sandy beaches is influenced by several factors, causing the moments of predicted sand transport not always to match with reality. The main aim of this thesis is to clarify the timing of aeolian transport on a narrow beach and the associated key factors. This is done using a video monitoring system and weather data. A strong, cross-shore wind causes limited sand transport, whereby the expected transport based on the wind speed did not result in the expe...
