SPEI-Based Spatiotemporal Analysis of Drought in Haihe River Basin from 1961 to 2010 by Meijian Yang, Denghua Yan, Yingdong Yu, Zhiyong Yang

“…The ratios that the influencing area of drought, light drought, moderate drought, severe drought, and extreme drought account for the whole HRB area are increasing with gradients of 0.64%/a, 0.18%/a, 0.31%/a, 0.14%/a, and 0.01%/a, respectively, and (2) there is a climate break point which occurred in 1990; after the comparison of the drought happening probability between 1961 and 1990 and between 1991 and 2010, all degrees of drought occurrence probability have a remarkable rising trend, and the drought concentrating regions moved from the north HRB to the central HRB.…”
