Abstract:Used gale data from 1984 to 2020 of 142 national meteorological stations, the climatic characteristics of gale in Hebei province were analyzed. Based on the disaster risk assessment theory, we chosen gale days and daily extreme wind speed as risky indexes and assessed the gale disaster risk. It is concluded that the average maximum wind speed tends to decrease, whose peak value appeared in 1978. The average extreme wind speed tends to increase in 2014—2020, which is similar to the trend of the maximum wind speed during this period. Gale days in April is peak while it is valley in September. Gale days tend to decline from the northwest to the southeast part of Hebei Province, while they increase in coastal region of Cangzhou. The average maximum wind speed is high in northwest and low in northeast. The average extreme wind speed is high in northwest and southwest while low in southeast. Both of the highest region of these two speeds appear in Bashang region in Zhangjiakou. The trend of the gale disaster risk is high in northwest and low in northeast and southwest. The highest risk parts are the Bashang region in Zhangjiakou and Fengning, a county in Chengde.
