The AOD's variation characteristics in semi-arid region of Chinese Loess Plateau are analyzed by using the observed direct solar radiation data during August 2006 to April 2007 gained by the automatic sun tracking spectrophotometer CE-318 of SACOL. The results show that the AOD spectrum distributions in semi-arid region of Chinese Loess Plateau very nearly follow Angstrom's formula. In visible and near-infrared band AOD decreases while wavelength increases. There are three types of diurnal variations, and they are: Single peak type, steady type and rising type. Diurnal variation characteristics of AODshow that the precipitation has wet removal efficiency for aerosol particles and AOD obviously increases while haze appears. Diurnal average of AOD ranges from 0.1 to 0.4, the frequency of maximum AOD value is the highest at 08~11BST, and the frequency of minimum AOD value is the highest at 12~13BST, 14~17BST. The meteorological condition has obvouisly effect on AOD, under south wind AOD is big but under east wind AOD is small, Comparing with clear condition and haze AOD is obvouis big. For same band, the difference of AOD caused by wind direction is smaller than that caused by haze.
