Quick Reference

The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) is a process-based, daily time-step model that simulates weather, field conditions, and erosion. WEPS was developed in response to customer requests for improved wind erosion technology. It is intended to replace the predominately empirical Wind Erosion Equation (WEQ) as a prediction tool for those who plan soil conservation systems, conduct environmental planning, or assess offsite impacts caused by wind erosion. A brief overview of the purpose, structure, and science of WEPS is contained in:

WEPS is a wind erosion simulation model with a potential for numerous inputs. However, for simple simulations, WEPS can be quite easy to operate. The following link will guide you through the process of making a simple simulation run so that you can become familiar with the operation of WEPS.
