Features: Desert climate is one of the most important elements in the formation of desert environments. The current desert climate has evolved from geological and historical periods. The unique climate of deserts is a rich resource for human activities, but it can also bring disasters such as sandstorms, heatwaves, and floods. This book is based on data and observations from desert climates around the world, as well as relevant studies, and is written primarily using observations and field data from special climate projects in the heart of the Taklamakan Desert. It is a work that integrates both large-scale and small-scale desert climates, divided into seven chapters. The first chapter is an introduction, while chapters two to five discuss the formation reasons of desert climate and aeolian landforms. Chapters six and seven cover the distribution, characteristics, and regularities of desert climate elements. In the writing process, it not only draws on relevant theories and experimental data on desert wind and sand, but also incorporates theories and viewpoints from classic works both within and outside China to systematically explain their roles. At the same time, it is supported by extremely rich observational and experimental data. This book can serve as a reference for researchers and professionals in meteorology, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, and environmental protection.
