Spatio-temporal evolution and non-stationary characteristics of meteorological drought in inland arid areas

The climate system has both non-stationary and nonlinear characteristics. The non-stationary processes such as climate change and human activities have brought severe challenges to life, agriculture and ecology in arid areas. It is of great practical significance to study the spatiotemporal variatio...

The non-stationary processes such as climate change and human activities have brought severe challenges to life, agriculture and ecology in arid areas.

The traditional trend change and variation analysis method was used to study the drought change characteristics, which could not effectively identify the clustering phenomenon of drought and the spatial and temporal variation of drought in different time intervals. Therefore, the method of breaks for additive seasonal and trend (BFAST) was introduced to determine the non-stationary characteristics and spatial variation of drought.
