Abstract:Using the wind condition data and Google Earth satellite images, the wind condition characteristics and dune movement characteristics were analyzed in this paper. And the annual movement speed and direction and rules were studied, which was of great significance to the improvement of sand prevention and control means in the studied region. The results showed that: (1) The annual average wind speed in the study area was 1.535~1.768 m/s, the highest average wind speed of sand blowing occurred in May and June, while the lowest in January. (2) Sand blowing wind and sand transport potential were mainly distributed in the directions of WSW, W, WNW and NW. (3) The sand transport potential was between 0 and 26 VU, which was a low wind energy environment. The variability of wind direction was between 0.5 and 0.9, which belonged to the variability of stroke direction and blunt bimodal wind conditions. (4) The average annual moving speed of the dunes in the study area was 12.26 m/a, and the average forward movement of the dunes was above 10 m, which was the fastest type; the average moving direction was 125.13°, which was basically the same as the local synthetic sand transport direction. (5) Sand dune moving speed was negatively correlated with its height and width. In addition to height and width, wind speed, sand transport potential, and sand dune density also affected the moving speed of sand dunes.
