It s helpful for ascertaining the key governing areas and improving the air quality of Beijing to analyze the major dust sources of loess of the Beijing2 Zhangjiakou area by studying the loess deposition of this area. The loess is a windblown deposition, grain size distribution of which contains the information of atmospheric dynamics during dust transportation. In this paper, the dust transporting wind system of the Beijing2Zhangjiakou area is compared with that of the loess plateau by studying the grain size distribution of loess and analyzing the wind2eroded traces on the LANDSAT TM remotely sensed images. It was found that dust of Beijing2Zhangjiakou area mainly came along the Sonid Youqi2Erenhot direction in north of Yinshan mountain and the atmospheric dynamic strength in the dust source area of loess of Beijing2Zhangjiakou area was stronger than that of the Loess Plateau. Key words dust2transporting wind system, aerodynamic force, grain size distribution, wind2eroded traces
