Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to study the spatiotemporal variation of potential evapotranspiration over the past 58 years, and provide a basis for the research on meteorological ecology in Hulunbuir. Based on the observation data of 16 meteorological stations in Hulunbuir from 1961 to 2018, the spatial and temporal variation characteristics and causes of potential evapotranspiration in the 58 years were analyzed from seasonal and decadal scales by means of trend analysis, M-K mutation test and partial correlation coefficient. The results showed that: (1) from 1961 to 2018, the annual average potential evapotranspiration changes in Hulunbuir ranged from 320 to 771 mm, and the overall trend was increasing from northeast to southwest and southeast; the average potential evapotranspiration was the highest in summer, followed by that in spring and autumn, and the lowest was in winter; (2) the annual average potential evapotranspiration increased at a rate of 2.3 mm/a, and it had a mutation in 1998, after which the increase trend became more obvious; (3) the increase trend in grassland areas in the southwest and agricultural areas in the east was significantly higher than that in the Great Khingan Mountains forest zone; (4) the variation of potential evapotranspiration in Hulunbuir was negatively correlated with wind speed, vapor pressure and relative humidity, and positively correlated with average air temperature and air pressure; the main factors affecting annual potential evapotranspiration were relative humidity and average temperature. Combining with the potential trend of evapotranspiration, the rational planning of water resources is of great significance to the ecological environment assessment and environmental change in this area.
