    Abstract
    Schwämmle and Herrmann (Nature, 2003, vol. 426, p. 619) have suggested that two sub-aerial barchan sand dunes could 'pass through one another while still preserving their shape' in a manner similar to solitons or solitary waves. A wide range of published field and wind tunnel evidence suggests that this assertion should not go unchallenged.Schwämmle and Herrmann (Nature, 2003, vol. 426, p. 619) have suggested that two sub-aerial barchan sand dunes could 'pass through one another while still preserving their shape' in a manner similar to solitons or solitary waves.
