The results show that the high potential vorticity, dry air from the upper level of troposphere extended downwards and southwards, which increased the vertical component of the vorticity on the steep iso - entropy p lane and p romoted the rap id development of the low level cyclone, boundary layer.

Results show that the environment factors such as land form, water system and vegetation have some important influence on the m icroclimate there. The small landform structure ofmogao Grottoes and its water system have obvious influence on the wind speed, hum idity, temperature and solar radiation. Comparing the monthly mean values of meteorological factors in the front and on the roof of Mogao Grottoes from Ap ril to December of 2005, the solor radiation, surface temperature and wind speed decreased MJ /m 2, 2. 7 and 3. 7 m / s, respectively, and the relative hum idity increased 9%, the monthly mean temperature range in the front of Mogao Grottoes was 0. 9 less than that of Gobi. But for air temperature, it was chiefly controlled by large scale factors. The air temperature daily rang ofmogao Grottoes was 4. 8 less than that of Dunhuang in It s discovered that the environment elements of Mogao Grottoes formed more stable m icroclimate, and the stable m icroclimate was highly advantageous to the Mogao Grottoes cultural relic p reservation. It was the main reason why Mogao Grottoes had been standing there for thousands years. Key words: m icroclimate; water system; landform structure; contrast analysis
