Abstract: Wind is an important geological agent as a form of the activity of atmospheric current field. It plays an important role in controlling the distribution of depositional systems. Wind has not only the ability of erosion, transportation and deposition developing the eolian systems, it can also transfer its energy and momentum to water creating waves and wind-driven flow developing unique depostional systems. In this paper, the clastic and carbonate depositional systems influenced by wind field are classified on the basis of direct wind impacts and indirect impacts on sediments:Leeward System, wind system and crosswind system. The introduction of the concept of wind field provides a new perspective for explaining the sedimentary formation (including oil and gas reservoir) and distribution as well as predicting sedimentary systems. It also helps improve the paleo-wind-field and paleoclimate reconstruction.
