Atmospheric shear velocity measurements for eolian transport of some common sand sizes were made on beaches, dry tidal flats, and small dune fields in Florida, Texas, the Alaskan Arctic, and Ecuador. The linear relationship between shear and wind velocities was further verified by these field data incorporated with Bagnold's Libyan Desert data. From these measurements, a simple method is given for computing eolian transport of the most common sand particle sizes which occur on coasts and deserts.
