Cold desert in Asia (4)

I believe the answer is:

gobi

(Other definitions for gobi that I've seen before include "Desert of central China" , "Large, mainly Mongolian, desert" , "Large Far Eastern desert" , "Desert, mostly in Mongolia" , "Arid region in central Asia, and 38 across" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
