Adaptation and use of the "Fryberger method" for sand drift potential assessment (on the example of the Nadym Ob Area)
The desertification problem is very acute in currently. The intensification of aeolian processes in the north of Western Siberia was greatly influenced by human economic activity: sand mining, pipelines, road building, etc. At the same time, climatic factors (wind is the main one) and the material composition of sediments play a paramount role in this matter. The wind regime and its directional variability have a great influence on the morphology and preservation of aeolian landforms. Accurate data on sand transport rates are very difficult to obtain, so many different methods based on environmental assumptions have been proposed to match experimental data. Among them, the method developed by Fryberger is the most widely used. This method is a modification of an equation developed to describe the effect of wind energy on sand drift in a relative rather than absolute manner. This method is also a useful tool for assessing the direction and intensity of wind transport of sand and the extent of dune formation. It is widely used all over the world. In addition to arid regions, this method is used for sand blowing on the coasts of oceans and large lakes, in the Arctic and Antarctic, and even, in an adapted form, to the dune fields of Mars. Despite the widespread use of this method around the world in Russian geomorphology, it turned out to be practically unnoticed. In the proposed work we would like to provide a description of Fryberger method and an indication of the most obvious problems and errors that can affect the obtained result and lead to erroneous conclusions. The territory of the Nadym Priobye (north of Western Siberia) is considered as a model object for research. For this area, the sand drift potential index and its derivatives (RDD, RDP) were calculated. The calculation showed that the Nadym Ob area is a region with relatively low wind energy. Moreover, in warm seasons, wind energy is almost twice as powerful as in cold seasons. A predominant eastern direction of sand migration (RDD) has been identified, which is consistent with the orientation of aeolian forms on the dune massif. Almost all aeolian forms are concentrated in the southeastern part of the dune massif, where sand is moved by the northern and northwestern winds. The most active movement of the dune occurs in the summer. The directional variability (RDP/DP) was also calculated from the average wind speed, which showed a unimodal wind regimes in the region. The calculations of sand drift potential indicators made it possible to estimate the intensity of aeolian sand transport in the region. At the same time, some regional peculiarities in the application of the standard methodology were noted and possible options for correcting the errors obtained were proposed.
