To determine parameters of primary importance in wind and saltation driven resuspension of fine particles from surfaces, wind tunnel experiments were conducted to study the resuspension of small polydisperse particles (diameter <10 ..mu..m) by monodisperse saltation particles (diameter >80 ..mu..m). The experiments were designed to simulate the atmospheric boundary layer resuspension of fine particles. 3 refs., 1 tab.
