Wind is the main factor in the destruction and erosion of arid and semi-arid areas, and in order to prevent its destructive effects, sufficient knowledge of the characteristics of the winds in the region must be obtained. The purpose of this research is to investigate the erosive wind regimes using hourly data of wind speed and direction to draw sand rose, wind rose, storm flowers and also the potential of sand transport in 6 stations located in the Salt Lake basin to determine the speed classes. The wind and the ability to carry sand and its effect on the formation of sand dunes. By examining the relationship between the spatial pattern and the state of excitability of erosive winds, the conditions for the formation and expansion of sand dunes are determined. In this research, using WRPLOT and Sand Rose Graph software, anemometer data of 6 synoptic stations of Arak, Golpaygan, Imam Khomeini Airport (RA), Kashan, Qazvin and Qom were analyzed and analyzed in a statistical period of 20 years (2002-2021). The zoning of the final potential of sand transport and its annual and seasonal values were prepared using ArcGIS software. The results of the annual Wind Roses of the region showed that despite the great temporal and spatial changes of the wind in the region, most of the prevailing winds blow from the northwest and then the west. The annual storm flowers of the region showed that most of the dominant and erosive winds blow from the northwest. The annual assessment of Sand Rose in the studied stations shows that the highest value of the algebraic result of the sand carrying potential occurs at Qazvin station with 4220.2 vector units and the lowest value of the result occurs at Arak station with 93.1 vector units. The wind direction homogeneity index at Imam Khomeini Airport station (RA) has a wind regime of mixed multidirectional winds with a sharp angle, and in other stations, bidirectional winds with a wide angle occur. Taking into account the carrying capacity of each vector unit, the highest transferability of the amount of sand per year is about 295.4 cubic meters per unit of width at Qazvin station and the lowest transferability of sand per year is about 6.5 cubic meters per unit of width at the station. Arak was estimated. The high potential of the winds of the Namak Lake basin, especially the Qazvin station, has the potential to produce sediment caused by wind erosion. Also, more in-depth studies should be conducted on the effects of wind erosion on vegetation recovery, biodiversity and land productivity.
