Discussing Antidunes
I had been thinking of creating a new Manila site to host my discussions on antidunes. With the advent of comments, however, I don't think that is necessary.
My concern is that I am posting information that has not gone through a formal peer-review process (beyond my dissertation committee). As such, it has not achieved the same level of standard as a scientific journal article. A Weblog like this, however, with its high degree of linking, has the potential for top listings in web search engines. So people searching for antidunes could see my information first.
I don't feel comfortable presenting my data and ideas, without allowing other workers in sediment transport and fluid flow to present their thoughts. This must be a discussion, not a presentation.
The comment feature allows a level discussion. It is not perfect and it may not reach peer-review standards. But, it can allow us to advance the science. I welcome your thoughts on the data and interpretations presented here.
