Abstract (2. Language): 
Calculated daily travel and wind speeds variations were determined. An empirical equation of diurnal changes in wind speeds developed for Western Iraq can be aware of the wind erosion and atmospheric dust storms cause. Wind speed is one of the priority factors to reduce the wind erosion by apply techniques or change environmental systems in that region. Wind speed calculated based upon the measured hourly values of wind speed for the period of 2000-2010. Results of research indicate that Western Iraq has a potential of wind speed have significantly during October through march , so land cover is needed and the best land cover is grow perennial biodiversity and artificial land cover which can reduce on soil removal. Besides, there has been a lack of precise meteorological measurements to aid to monitoring and prediction of high-resolution winds in mulched lands. This model uses a truncated sin wave function to predict day-time wind speed changes and an exponential function to predict night-time wind speeds. In this method we can realize the impact of land covers on wind erosion.
