Sand dunes are used as indicators of wind
power potential and examples are presented of their application
as a prospecting technique at four study sites in
the Central Columbia River Basin. Aerial reconnaissance
is combined with interpretation of photography and topographic
maps as a basis of sand dune analysis. Sand...
