The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) is a daily simulation model which outputs average soil loss and deposition values for selected areas and periods of time. It is applicable to just one field, or can be applied to a few adjacent fields.
Wind erosion occurs when the land surface is left bare in regions that are arid enough, as a result of low rainfall, to allow the soil to dry out, and flat enough to allow the wind to carry the soil away over several consecutive days.
