Vm = Accelerated method threshold velocity- 



The other terms are the same as given above. This equation has a 

 degree of accuracy comparable to equation (5). 



These two equations, (5) and (6), were combined to form equation 

 (7) which was used to determine expected natural wind threshold 

 velocities from the accelerated method results.
