- Abstract:
-
This study is to clarify the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of drought conditions in Tibet Autonomous Region, to understand the climate change patterns in this region, and to provide the basis for the optimal allocation of water resources in this region, especially the efficient use of agricultural water resources. The Tibet Autonomous Region was selected as the study area. Based on the daily meteorological data of 37 meteorological stations from 1981 to 2012 years, the spatiotemporal variations of UNEP drought index, precipitation and precipitation centration index(PCI) were examined. The drought degree gradually decreased over time. UNEP drought index gradually increased from west to east. The entire region from west to east progressively varied from the special arid zone to semi-humid climate zone and humid climate zone. Precipitations gradually increased from the west to the southeast, and the average annual precipitation increased from 68.8 mm to 700 mm. The concentrations of the quarterly precipitation increased from southeast to northwest region. This study can provide the practical foundations for a wide range of irrigation management and water use in Tibet Autonomous Region.
