Abstract:Based on global land monthly precipitation dataset PREC/L during the period of 1948-2001, the flood/drought and the secular trend variation of precipitation of global, the Northern Hemisphere (NH) ,the Southern Hemisphere(SH), Eurasia, Africa, Australia, North America, South America and Antarctica in December-February (DJF) are investigated. The results indicate that the precipitation of global, NH and SH experienced decadal change: a minus-trend from 1974s global precipitation for DJF, regression coefficient is -0.017 mm/a. The precipitation of Northern Hemisphere has a significant negative trend, lapse rate of precipitation during DJF is -0.028 mm/a .for the Southern Hemisphere , but it hasn't pass the statistical significance .The flood/drought years are picked out in 1948-2001 for DJF over global, Northern and Southern Hemisphere, six large-scale areas, the results point out there is significant decadal change in the flood/drought years of global ,NH and SH in DJF,during 1940s-1970s global flood in DJF occurred frequently and from 1970s-1990s global drought in DJF occurred frequently. The flood/drought characteristics of Northern Hemisphere are agreed with ones of the global. There is no obvious correlation between the Northern and Southern Hemispheric flood/drought in DJF. Eurasia, North America, Antarctica have significant interdecadal change of the flood/drought during DJF. Global has a significant contrast of rainfall between flood/drought years. The correlations among six large-scale areas precipitation are analysed. Study shows that the relationships of precipitation may exist among the Eurasia and Africa (The correlation coefficients is -0.35), North America and Eurasia , South America and and Australia.
