Abstract: Based on conventional observational data of monthly snow cover days and depths, as well as number of sand-dust weather days of five meteorological stations over Eastern Hexi Corridor from 1961-2007, the temporal-spatial variation characteristics of snow cover days and depths from winter to spring and number of sand-dust weather days from spring to summer were analyzed. The relationships between accumulated snow cover from winter to spring and sand-dust weather from spring to summer over Eastern Hexi Corridor were also discussed. The results show that the spatial distribution of snow cover depths and days decreased from the southeast to the northwest resulting from altitude changes, geographical location and weather influence. Snow cover days and depths were greater in high altitude areas than in low altitude areas. In contrast, the number of sand-dust weather days decreased from the northwest to the southeast. The number of sand-dust weather days were obviously more in low altitude areas than in high altitude areas. There were significantly negative correlations between number of sand-dust weather days and snow cover days and depths. The negative correlation was stronger with snow cover depths than with snow cover days. The impact of snow cover from winter to spring on the number of sand-dust weather days was bigger in spring than in summer. The negative correlation between number of sand-dust weather days and snow cover days was clearly bigger in mountain areas than in plains.
