Abstract

Abstract: Drought is a destructive natural disaster in the Western Sichuan Plateau. Understanding its spatiotemporal variations has important practical significance for drought prevention, ensuring agricultural production safety, and maintaining ecosystem health in the region. Based on the daily meteorological data from 48 meteorological stations in the Western Sichuan Plateau from 1980 to 2020, we used the Penman-Monteith model to calculate potential evapotranspiration and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). The temporal and spatial variations of drought in the Western Sichuan Plateau were analyzed using linear trend analysis and drought characteristics analysis methods. The results showed that the annual and spring SPEI of the Western Sichuan Plateau showed a weak wetting trend from 1980 to 2020, while summer, autumn, and winter showed a drought trend. The southwest mountains and northeast grasslands in the study region were prone to drought. The range of interannual drought impact in the study area was weakly increasing, with a decreasing trend in spring and an increasing trend in summer, autumn, and winter. The overall drought frequency in the whole region was relatively high. The areas drought of low-frequency were mainly located in parts of west and northeast of the Western Sichuan Plateau, while the rest were high frequency areas.

Key words: standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI), Western Sichuan Plateau, drought, Penman-Monteith model
