摘要

Wind erosion occurs in many arid, semiarid and agricultural areas of the world. The desert areas of China, which occupy approximately 13%of China’s total surface area, are major sources of Asian dust. The major wind-erosion areas are the sandy lands in western and northwestern China together with the extensive regions of the Gobi desert in northern and northeastern China, especially along the basin of the Yellow River. In this paper, dust storms which occurred in China in the spring of 2002 were simulated using an integrated numerical modeling system.
