In this research, effect of environmental forcing like topography, direction and sharpness of slope, shape and trend of topography on wind regime formation have been studied in mountainous stations of gilan. The regime of mountainous winds has major effects on the air conditions in mountain regions. This research had been done using hourly data of wind speed and wind direction and also analysis and fitness of topography conditions with theoretical fundamental of research. So it was observed that Masouleh station is one of the best mountains stations in the subject of mountains climatology. Suitable location of this station in the middle slope caused to affected region by upslope wind and down slope wind (katabatic and anabatic winds). Location of Deylaman station on southern slopes of Alborz Mountains had important effect on wind speed decreasing. Wind occurrence mechanism is Mountain wind type along vallay in Deylaman station. Secondary dominant wind was north-northwest thus daily and seasonal behaviors of wind and location of Caspian Sea and Alborz Mountain represent affecting the region by sea-land breeze system. Jirandeh station’s behavior is as an exclusive mountainous station that indicated deep combination but imperceptible influence of the mountain on atmospheric phenomena in Mountains range. Position of station on southern slope provided appropriate conditions to form slope wind occurrence in this region. However stretching of Totkabon- siahrood valley as a wide valley that is branching of sefidrood valley provided appropriate conditions to influx sea-breeze wind. This condition caused destruction of local mountain wind effects during day and night.
