摘要：

Bedload is moved down the East Fork River in wavelike pulses that have the form of composite dune fields. The moving material consists mostly of coarse sand and fine gravel. The wavelengths of the pulses are about 500-600 m, a distance that is predetermined by the pattern of storage of bed sediment in the river during low water. Each successive pulse of water discharge sets into motion a wave of bedload that continues to move until it reaches the next storage area.
