Comparisons of Ogive Systems Under Various Regimes
Abstract It is suggested that the dark and light bands associated with a wave ogive system are the result of preferential adsorption of wind-blown dust by interstitial water held in narrow coarsely crystalline bands, which are more frequent in the dark bands. These narrow bands are presumed to be pr...
