Abstract

This study analyzes the spatial-temporal variation in sand-dust weather and its influencing factors in Qaidam Basin. Meteorological data on blowing sands, floating dusts, sandstorms, temperature, precipitation, and relative humidity were analyzed for 58 years from nine representative stations in Qaidam Basin using the Mann-Kendall test, wavelet analysis, and other statistical methods. According to the results, the number of days of blowing sands, floating dusts, and sandstorms in the region over the past 58 years has dropped significantly, with the number of days with sand-dust weather being highest in the 1970s and lowest in the 2000s. The number of days of sand-blowing changed abruptly in 1997 and showed a downward trend after the sudden change. The number of sandstorm days had a long period of 10-15 years and a short period of 5-7 years, the number of blowing sand days also had a long period of 10-15 year, and the number of floating dust days had no evident periodicity. There was more sand-dust weather in the southwest of the basin and less in the northeast of the basin. The number of days of blowing sands, floating dusts, and sandstorms were positively correlated with air pressure, gale days, and area and intensity of polar eddies in Asia, and they were negatively correlated with temperature and area and intensity of subtropical highs in the Western Pacific, Tibetan Plateau, Indo-Burma Trough, and Indian Ocean warm pool.
