Archived NRCS Site
for the
Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS)
This site allows access to the WEPS version used for official purposes by NRCS field offices.
NRCS developed and maintains the components of the WEPS Databases on this site.
The USDA-Agricultural Research Service is the lead agency for developing the science in the WEPS model and the model interface.
WEPS predicts many forms of
soil erosion by wind including PM-10. It replaces the Wind Erosion
Equation in use prior to January, 2008.

A general introduction to the WEPS model can be obtained in the document: An Overview of the Wind Erosion Prediction System.
Additional information on WEPS is available from the WEPS Information Page.
