Do you know something about sandstorms?Something about sandstorms 1什么是沙尘暴 沙尘暴是沙暴和尘暴二者的总称,是指强风把地面大量沙尘卷入空中,使空气特别浑浊,水平能见度低于1千米的天气现象。其中沙暴系指大风把大量沙粒吹入近地层所形成的挟沙风暴;尘暴则是大风把大量尘埃及其它细粒物质卷入高空所形成的风暴。 Something about sandstorms 2沙尘暴的时空分布 世界有四大沙尘暴多发区,分别位于中亚、北美、中非和澳大利亚。我国的沙尘暴区属于中亚沙尘暴的一部分,主要发生在北方地区。总的特点是西北多于东北地区,平原或盆地多于山区,沙漠及边缘多于其它地区。且主要集中在两大区域:一是位于塔里木盆地的塔克拉玛干沙漠。另一个是从巴丹吉林沙漠东部,南至甘肃河西走廊,经腾格里沙漠乌兰布和至库布齐沙地和毛乌素沙地。另外在北疆克拉玛依地区、南疆的和田地区和青海的西北部地区是三个局地性沙尘暴区。 Something about sandstorms 2 在漫长的地质历史中沙尘暴显示出周期性
变化,它与地质时期气候变化和地面沙尘物质的多少有关,遇气候暖湿时期,地面植被生长茂密,生态环境条件好,沙尘暴发生频率低;反之在冷干气候时期,则沙尘暴发生频率高。 Something about sandstorms 3沙尘暴是怎样形成的 沙尘暴的形成必须具备四个条件:一是地面上的沙尘物质,它是形成沙尘暴的物质基础;二是大风,这是沙尘暴形成的动力基础,也是沙尘暴能够长距离输送的动力保证;三是不稳定的空气状态,这是重要的局地热力条件,沙尘暴多发生于午后傍晚说明了局地热力条件的重要性;四是干旱的气候环境,沙尘暴多发生于北方的春季,而且降雨后一段时间内不会发生沙尘暴是很好的证据。 Deal with activity 1
