| Abstract: |
| Based on the measured daily precipitation and calculated the potential evapotranspiration,using Penman-Monteith formula, the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) from 1981 to 2017 in northern China was established.The Mann-Kendall test (MK)and rotating empirical orthogonal matrix (REOF) method were used to explore the temporal and spatial characteristics ofdrought in this region over 37 years. The results showed that: (1) About 74% of the whole region had decreasing SPEI from 1981 to 2017, and about 43% of area of whole region had a significant decrease trend. The average SPEI trend rate was -0.015·a-1 (P<0.01). Moreover, the turning point of SPEI change occurred in1994; (2) The area that the frequency of slightly arid (-1.2 |
