Abstract

Abstract:

The wide valley area in Yarlung Zangbo River is one of serious aeolian disaster affected regions in Tibet Plateau. For this reason， the Yarlung Zangbo River （Qushui to Zidane） was selected as study region； wind power condition change was analyzed since 1981. The results indicated that averaged annual and monthly wind speed decreased since 1981. Wind speed is largest from February to April. Dust storm mainly occurred at winter and spring. Wind directions are complex for the river channel， sand land and mountains compound system in the study region and are primary west and east in the Gonggar， and west， south and northeast in the Zidane. The frequency of daily maximum wind speed larger than threshold wind speed is more than 83% for all stations， and these values increased from west to east， arrive to about 96% in Zidane. Drift potential is largest in the Zhanang （99 VU）， and then Sangye （56 VU）. The above mentioned complex wind power system and the widely distributed sediment in the river are the main reasons for spatial distributions of aeolian geomorphology and frequently occurrence of dust storm. Based on the complex wind power system for the river channel， sand land and mountains compound system， we provide some suggestions for the rational sand disaster prevention.

Key words: Yarlung Zangbo River, aeolian sediment transport, wind power, sand disaster prevention
