A '''Wind erosion''' equation or WEQ is an erosion model designed to predict long-term average annual [[soil]] losses from a field having specific characteristics.
The equation is: E = f(IKCLV)
where E = Estimated average annual soil loss expressed in tons per acre per year
I = Soil erodibility index
K = Soil ridge roughness factor
C = Climatic factor
L = Equivalent unsheltered distance across the field along the prevailing wind erosion direction
V = Equivalent vegetative cover
