Abstract

The Huang-huai-hai River Basin is one of the most economically developed areas, but is also heavily impacted by drought and flood disasters. Research on the precipitation feature of the Huang-huai-hai River Basin is of great importance to the further discussion of the cause of flood disaster. Based on the selected meteorological stations of the study area from 1961–2016, the inverse distance weighting method was used to get daily precipitation grid data. Interannual variation of precipitation intensity and cover area of different precipitation classes was analyzed. The generalized extreme-value distribution method was used to analyze the spatial distribution of extreme precipitation. The results show that: (1) decrease of accumulated precipitation in light precipitation year and moderate precipitation year might be the reason why the precipitation in the whole basin decreased, but the coefficient of variation (CV) of different classes of precipitation and precipitation days does not change significantly; (2) since the cover area of precipitation > 50 mm and precipitation intensity both decreased, the extreme precipitation of the whole basin may be decreasing; (3) extreme precipitation mainly occurred in the loess plateau in the northeast of Huang-huai-hai River Basin, Dabieshan in the middle of Huang-huai-hai River Basin and other areas.
