- Abstract:
-
Based on the monthly meteorological data of four meteorological stations from 1960 to 2015 of the arid area of central Ningxia, indices of SPI, SPEI, and K of spring, summer, autumn, winter and crop growing season were calculated, and the assessment results of the three drought indices were compared. The results showed that:(1) three drought indices had good correlation each other at all time scales except winter and the correlations between SPI and SPEI, between SPEI and K index were poor in winter; (2) indices of SPEI and K were relatively similar in identification of drought in spring, summer and crop growing season, and K index had the highest degree of drought assessment in autumn and winter, followed by indices of SPI and SPEI; (3) M-K trend analysis results from the three drought indices were similar, which can indicate the trend of drought in the arid area of central Ningxia; (4) K index was more effective than SPI and SPEI, and its assessment results were basically consistent with historical drought facts.
