Abstract:
Using precipitation and temperature for the period of 1851-2008 of Xi'an city, the paper analyzed the variation trends and abrupt changes of hydro-meteorological factors including precipitation and temperature using linear fitting, sliding t test, ordered clustering and Mann-Kendall methods．Firstly, the variation trends of precipitation and temperature were analyzed using linear fitting and anomaly percentage, and then the change characteristic of number of rainy days and precipitation were further analyzed. Finally, the paper investigated the abrupt changes of precipitation and temperature using sliding t test, ordered clustering and Mann-Kendall methods. The results showed that the precipitation decreased gradually. Precipitation accounts for 58% of annual precipitation during the flood season and the annual precipitation distribution is uneven. The annual mean temperature and extreme minimum temperature have increased. The abrupt changes of the precipitation were detected in 1958、1975 and 1980, and the abrupt changes of annual average temperature have found between 1993-1995.
