Saltation and Reptation
Saltation involves the bouncing or hopping of larger particles along the surface, a process only formally recognized in 2004, describes the horizontal 'shivering' motion of particles that are too heavy for true suspension but too light for sustained [saltation](/entries/saltation/}, effectively creating a near-surface layer of near-stationary particulate matter [4].
