    Abstract:

    According to the climatic data from an automatic weather station (AWS) and the meteorological tower at Namco Station (30°46.44′N,90°59.31′E,4730 m asl.) during July 14,2005 to July 13,2006,seasonal and diurnal variations o f air temperature,air pressure,relative humidity, precipitation,wind speed an d wind direction were analyzed. Some preliminary knowledges on climatic features of this area were obtained: The average annual temperature is 0℃,the minimum temperature appears in December and the maximum temperature in July. The annual rainfall is 281.8 mm,mainly taking place from May to October. The average annual relative h umidity is 52.6%, and the wet and dry seasons are distinct,the precipitation ha ppening at night (20:00—8:00) accounts for 78.6% of the total. The a verage annual air pressure is 571.2 hPa,the minimum pressure occurs in January and the maximum pressure in September;Mean annual wind speed is 4 m?s-1 ,the maxi mum wind speed occurs in January (6.1m?s-1),there are strong winds in the afternoo n and weak winds in the morning. The annual gale days are 53 d,and 36% of it ha ppens in January. The dominant wind direction is from SE to S(135°-270°),wi nd cycle between the land and lake area is remarkable in summer.
