Characteristics and Establishment of Objective Identification Criteria and Predictors for Foehn Winds in Urumqi, China

Maoling Ayitikan,
Xia Li,
Qing He
et al.

Abstract: The special terrain of Urumqi (in the valley area) often triggers strong foehn winds, causing huge losses to local people’s lives and social economies. By using the surface observation data of the hourly temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind from the downwind Urumqi Meteorological Station and the upwind Dabancheng Meteorological Station in the Middle Tianshan Canyon and the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data during 2008–2022, this paper establishes the dataset of foehn processes at Urumqi Station in the past 15 yea… Show more

“…(1) Meteorological station observation data. This study selected meteorological variables such as hourly 2 min average, 10 min average, instantaneous, and maximum wind speeds and directions; atmospheric and sea level pressure; temperature; and relative humidity from Urumqi Station from 2008 to 2022.The beginning and end periods of Foehn wind, the duration of FW weather, and the distribution of various meteorological elements over time in Urumqi over the past 15 years were analyzed based on the southeast winds in Urumqi, the conditions in the upper level during the Foehn period, the surface pressure situation of "high in the south and low in the north", and the sudden rise/drop in temperature/humidity [14]. The selection criteria for strong FW are as follows: an instantaneous wind speed ≥ 17 m/s or a 2 min average wind speed ≥ 10.8 m/s.…”

“…FW usually occurs on the lee slope of mountain ranges, which experiences a localized form of air movement caused by a mountainous region [1]. FW occurs in many mountainous areas around the world, such as the Alps in Europe, the Rockies in America, and the Taihang Mountains in China [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. It often poses a threat to local people's safety, the infrastructure, transportation, agricultural production, etc.…”

“…The temperature difference between day and night is significant (Xing et al, 2022). The topography of the urban area slopes from southeast to northwest, with an average elevation of 800 m and a drop of 300-400 m (Ayitikan et al, 2023). In order to study the impact of CSB on urban LST, we chose areas with high CSB coverage, including Midong District, Toutunhe District, New Downtown District, Shayibak District, Tianshan District and Shuimogou District.…”
