Research conducted on the Jarangiyn els field on the Gobi desert in Mongolia took place during the transformation of barchans resulting from the changes in wind direction. The investigation undertaken by the authors had as its goal the evaluation of the changes in the morphology of the forms, extended by the interpretation of the grain size parameters distribution in the longitudinal profiles of the dunes. The results indicate that the processes of barchan transformation are recorded in grain size parameters.
