Research reveals quantitative patterns of linear dune morphology in various geographic regions, suggesting landscape similarities.
The work presents the results of a study of the structure of a landscape pattern formed by clusters of longitudinal (linear) dunes using methods of mathematical morphology of the landscape. Quantitative patterns of the distribution of the lengths of dunes (lognormal distribution) and the spatial distribution of the points of origin, termination and intersection of aeolian forms (Poisson distribution) in different physical and geographical regions have been revealed. The similarity of the structure of the drawings with other types of aeolian morphogenesis is indicated.
