Using hourly reanalysis data at 5 km × 5 km resolution from the China Meteorological Administration Land Data Assimilation System (CLDAS) from May to July 2020, combined with crop development period data for the wheat planting areas in southern Xinjiang in 2020, we refined the definition of dry-hot …
Using daily meteorological data from 99 meteorological stations in Xinjiang from 1961–2020, the daily Meteorological Drought Composite Index (MCI) sequences for each station were calculated according to the latest revised national standard "Grades of Meteorological Drought". The spatiotemporal varia…
Utilizing 24-hour precipitation forecasts at 36-hour lead time from the ECMWF (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast) and GRAPES-GFS (China Meteorological Administration's GRAPES Global Numerical Prediction Operational System, Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction System-Global For…
Using parallel observation and comparative observation data of precipitation phenomena from 2363 meteorological stations nationwide during 2017-08 to 2018-08, a comparative analysis was conducted on automatic observation data of five precipitation phenomena—rain, snow, drizzle, hail, and sleet—from …
Evaporation constitutes a critical process in the hydrological cycle, and investigating pan evaporation in the Loess Plateau region is of paramount significance for regional water resource utilization and protection. By compiling data on pan evaporation, air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, r…
Yardang strata constitute the material manifestation of the entire depositional system that existed prior to Yardang landform development, recording substantial information about depositional processes, while sediment analysis serves as the foundation for interpreting this critical information. This…
The Tarim River is the longest inland river in China and is considered as an important river to protect the oasis economy and environment of the Tarim Basin. However, excessive exploitation and over-utilization of natural resources, particularly water resources, have triggered a series of ecological…
This study aimed to elucidate the influence of inflow water on the salinity concentration process of a saline lake and the mass balance of Lake Issyk-Kul, a tectonic saltwater lake in Kyrgyzstan. Based on the survey results and meteorological data from 2012 to 2015, we analyzed the dissolved chemica…
The farming-pastoral ecotone of northern China (FPENC) provides an important ecological barrier which restrains the invasion of desert into Northwest China. Studying drought and flood characteristics in the FPENC can provide scientific support and practical basis for the protection of the FPENC. Bas…
Underlying terrain strongly influences dune formation. However, the impacts of underlying terrain on the dune formation are poorly studied. In the present research, we focused on dunes that formed in the alluvial fans and dry salt flats in the Qaidam Basin, Northwest China. We quantified the dunes' …
