Diurnal characteristics of turbulent intermittency in the Taklimakan Desert
Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 2017A case study is performed to investigate the behavior of turbulent intermittency in the Taklimakan Desert using an intuitive, direct, and adaptive method, the arbitrary-order Hilbert spectral analysis (arbitrary-order HSA). Decomposed modes from the vertical wind speed series confirm the dyadic filter-bank essence of the empirical mode decomposition ...

Geomorphology of sand dunes in the Northeast Taklimakan Desert
Geomorphology, 2002Three types of sand dunes exist in the Taklimakan Desert, namely compound/complex crescent dunes and crescent chains, compound dome dunes and compound/complex linear dunes. Besides these three compound/complex types, single simple dunes are also distributed throughout the sand sea.

Monitoring sand dune advance in the Taklimakan Desert
Geomorphology, 2000The migration rate of sand dunes is important for the design of the sand-control system in the Taklimakan Desert. Sand dune movement was monitored in a sample plot along the desert-crossing highway by means of a topographical survey in late 1991, 1992 and 1993.

The Recent Evolution of the Oasis Environment in the Taklimakan Desert, China
2009Numerous natural and anthropogenic factors have caused soil salinization, land surface degradation, and desertification in Keriya County in China’s Xinjiang region. Information from multi-temporal remotely sensed data such as the Soil Salinity Index (SSI) has contributed significantly to an understanding of these environmental changes.

Estimation of the land surface emissivity in the hinterland of Taklimakan Desert
Journal of Mountain Science, 2014An accurate accounting of land surface emissivity (e) is important both for the retrieval of surface temperatures and the calculation of the longwave surface energy budgets. Since e is one of the important parameterizations in land surface models (LSMs), accurate accounting also improves the accuracy of surface temperatures and sensible heat fluxes ...

Geochemical, mineralogical and sedimentological studies on the Taklimakan Desert sands
Sedimentology, 1998Major‐element composition, mineral composition and grain‐size distribution have been studied for Quaternary aeolian sediments from the Taklimakan Desert, north‐western China, together with the variation of chemical and mineralogical compositions of different grain‐size fractions.

The analysis of water vapor distribution over Taklimakan Desert
Science China Earth Sciences, 2011Up to now, all analysis of the distribution of water vapor over the Taklimakan desert area only depends on limited ground measurements and radio soundings setting mostly on the outer margin area. This paper establishes an approach to retrieve the water vapor over the desert at high temporal and spatial resolutions by the use of FY2C geostationary ...

Desert disturbance assessments of regional oil exploitation by Aster and ETM+ images in Taklimakan Desert China [PDF]
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2007 To feed its rapidly growing energy demand, oil exploitation in China has never been more intensive. The most obvious characteristics of oil exploitation are progressive and regional, which can be monitored by remote sensing, such as land use and cover change, either perpetual or temporary, during oil field development such as construction of oil well ...

Aeolian landforms in the Taklimakan Desert
1984The Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in the People’s Republic of China (covering an area of 337,600 km2) is found in the center of the Tarim Basin. The following is an attempt at explaining the origin of the sand, the morphological characteristics of the dunes, and their distribution and movement in this desert.

Ground surface conditions of oases around the Taklimakan Desert
Advances in Space Research, 2007Abstract Land cover change of the oases surrounding Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang Uyghur in the past 40 years was examined by means of satellite images. From the results of the analysis of these images, the following have been explained. The farmland utilization ratio in average stands at 0.28 in the northern edge of Taklimakan Desert.
