Using the meteorological method,remote sensing method,geographical method,statistical method and HYSPLIT-4 model,the changing trend of dust weather,basic characteristics of sand-dust source areas and the correlation between the frequency of dust weather and the precipitation in Beijing and the sand-dust source areas are studied.The results showed that floating dust,raising dust and sandstorm weathers have an irregular fluctuant decreasing tendency in past 55 years.The cold air and dust entered into Beijing city have mainly three types routes from west,northwest and north routes.Mongolian cyclone along with cold front was the main weather situation that brings the dust weather of Beijing.The sand and dust particles mainly came from Inner Mongolia and the border between China and Mongolia.Besides,there are extensive sand-dust source areas surrounding the central districts and suburbs of Beijing.The correlative analysis showed that precipitation of the sand-dust source areas related closely to the frequency of dust weather of Beijing in spring,and local precipitation exerts an influence on the sandstorm weather mostly.In order to alleviate the calamity of dust weather of Beijing,people should plant trees to set up an outside ecological protective screen in the surrounding areas,strengthen the supervision on sand-dust source areas and predict the coverage and duration of possible dust weathers well in advance time.
