Eolian processes were the subject of detailed studies in the high‐mountain area of the Tatra Mts. The field investigations in 1975–80 attempted to determine the amount of deflation and eolian deposition and to improve understanding of their mechanism. The net rates of these processes were determined from repeated survey of deflational forms and of eolian deposits. Observations of the mechanism of material displacement were based on field experiments carried out during strong winds. All the investigations were conducted using simple methods and traps. Relationships between the course and intensity of processes and wind conditions and soil properties were obtained.
