Aeolian saltation measurement and meteorological data over typical desert surfaces on the Alxa Plateau

The data were collected from five meteorological stations situated over typical desert surfaces on the Alxa Plateau from November 2018 to December 2019. This dataset encompassed mean daily wind speed and direction, air temperature (℃), relative humidity (RH), cumulative saltation particle counts and kinetic energy. The measurement duration at the gravel Gobi site lasted over 9 months for uncontrollable reasons. Due to the involvement of unpublished articles in high-resolution data, this dataset only provides daily data as a reference. We will supplement high-resolution data in the future.
