Wind Erosion in Western Queensland Australia

Table 5.2 Correlation coefficients (r 2 ) for the cross-correlation analysis betweenmean and maximum (max) AUSLEM output at multiple spatial scales(25 to 150 km) and dust-event frequencies for eight stations within thestudy area. Correlations between AUSLEM output and dust-eventfrequencies that are statistically significant (p > 0.05) are boldfaced.............149Table 5.3 Correlation coefficients (r 2 ) for the cross-correlation analysis betweenmean 3 pm wind speeds (ms -1 ) and dust-event frequency groups andDSI for meteorological stations within the study area.
