Abstract
Reliable surface wind information and the recently available Landsat imagery for deserts of the entire world has facilitated the comparison of wind regimes to dune forms on a worldwide basis. In this report the morphologies of dunes, both from well-studied and from relatively less-studied parts of the world, were compared with local and regional winds. Characteristic wind environments were discerned for barchanoid, linear and star dunes. -from Author
