Example of transport processes. Frames from video of a “warm” temperature experiment (Run 5). Images after a 1 s, b 3 s, c 4 s, d 10 s, e 44 s, f 60 s, g 122 s, and h 303 s after the start of the experiment. White arrows point to sand saltation plumes, black arrows point to levitated pellets of wet sediment (a, i), to dry material superposing the channel (d), and to the last observed dry avalanche (h). il Show detailed excerpts of be, respectively. Contrast and brightness was adjusted on all images individually for clarity. Note for scale that the metallic tray is 0.9-m long and 0.4-m wide
