Abstract:
      Based on the precipitation data of 21stations in Weihe River Basinin Shaanxi Provincein the recent 50years (1951~2005) and using Cumulative departure curve method and signal/noise radio method the temporal-spatial change characteristics of precipitation over the region are analyzed. The results indicate :(1)With the lowering of altitude the precipitation is rising from west to east in the Weihe River basin and the range of increase is approxi mately 15.1mm on average for each 100-meter lowering of altitude;(2) Since the 1960s the average annual precipitation has assumed a drop tendency in the Weihe River with about 2mm on average for each decade;(3) There was no mutation year in the change of precipitationin the Weihe River Basin during the 50years but 1982and 2003seemed as transition years.
