The dynamics of dune evolution under bimodal wind regimes are poorly understood owing to a lack of long-term wind records and the limitations of most experimental set-ups. A 4-year landscape-scale experiment in the Tengger Desert, Mongolia, demonstrates that the orientation of oblique dune crests is controlled by the wind regime.
