East Hellespontus Region Seasonal Dune Monitoring

East Hellespontus Region Seasonal Dune Monitoring

Where the Wind Blows
With this observation, we look at changes since 2010 and with other subsequent images that we have acquired of this area. Bidirectional wind regimes were detected here, so tighter imaging will help understand when east- or west-blowing winds dominate. Dunes are particularly suited to comprehensive planetary studies because they are abundant over a wide range of elevations and terrain types.
