  abstract = {{S}imultaneous measurements of saltation, wind speed, and rainfall performed in {N}iger before, during, and after 18 rain events are used to investigate how rain events affect wind erosion in the {S}ahel. {T}he results show that the inhibition of saltation is rapid but progressive after the beginning of a rain event. {T}he decrease of sand transport during the rain event is better linked to the time elapsed from the beginning of the rain event rather than to the cumulative rainfall. {I}n the {S}ahel, after a rain event, less than 12 h is necessary to almost fully restore the sand transport potential. {O}ur results suggest that assuming that no sand transport and dust emission occur during the 12 h following the end of a rain event could be a reasonable alternative to existing parameterizations of the influence of soil moisture on the wind erosion threshold, at least for the {S}ahelian conditions.},
