[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]RIVAGE International audience In polar regions, sastrugi are a direct manifestation of drifting snow and form the main surface roughness elements. In turn, sastrugi alter the generation of atmospheric turbulence and thus modify the wind field and the aeolian snow...
