Some more stuff on sticky longitudinal dunes (some behind a paywall, bummer):

Rubin and Hesp, Nature Geoscience 2 (2009), 653 - 658. Multiple origins of linear dunes on Earth and Titan. doi: doi:10.1038/ngeo610. Pay-for article: http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v2/n9/full/ngeo610.html

An abstract discussing linear vs. bidirectional winds:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2009AGUFM.P51G1193R

And a FREE article on Interplanetary dunes :
Bourke et al., Geomorphology 121 (2010) 1–14. Extraterrestrial dunes: An introduction to the special issue on planetary
dune systems. 10.1016/j.geomorph.2010.04.007 Link here.
