Abstract:
      Based on the calculation of the drought-flood index (Z index, W index) with the daily precipitation data of 5 meterological stations, the variation of drought-flood in Siping region was analyzed by the linear trend method and wavelet analysis method. The results showed that the W index data was in a weak downward trend in the Siping during the past 54 years, and exhibited alternating drought and flooding. The extreme drought year of W index corresponded to the precipitation anomaly year. These two had consistency and W index might well reflect the flood/drought rules of Siping region. The drought parameter W tends to decreased at a rate of 3.68·10a-1, while it tends to increased significantly at the rate of 3.89·10a-1 in spring, and 10.183·10a-1 in winter. Each season has a different oscillation period and distinguished feature according to the result of the wavelet analysis method.
