摘要
Precipitation data from 104 meteorological stations in Inner Mongolia from 1960 to 2018 were analyzed to examine the regionalization and characteristics of precipitation variations. Using rotated empirical orthogonal function (REOF) analysis and K-means clustering, Inner Mongolia was divided into six precipitation subregions: the northeastern Hulunbuir area (subregion I); most of Hinggan League, northern Xilin Gol League, and northwestern Tongliao City (subregion II); most of Tongliao City and Chifeng City and east-central and southern Xilin Gol League (subregion III); southern Xilin Gol League, north-central Ulan Chab City, northern Hohhot City, most of Baotou City and north-central Bayannur City (subregion IV); Ordos City, southern Bayannur, and southeastern Alxa League (subregion V); and west-central Alxa League and parts of western Bayannur City (subregion VI). Precipitation showed a spatial gradient with higher annual averages in the east (400.85 mm in subregion I) and lower averages in the west (90.65 mm in subregion VI). From 1960 to 2018, precipitation exhibited an overall increasing trend consistent across the subregions. However, most regions showed decreasing trends from 1990 to 2010. The rate of precipitation change varied significantly across the subregions, reflecting distinct spatial dynamics.
