Abstract:The relative humidity index of Heilongjiang Province was calculated by using the conventional observations of 28 meteorological stations from 1980 to 2014. The crop growth season, drought distribution, dry/wet development trend of the province, and main influencing factors were analyzed specifically using inverse distance weight spatial interpolation in ArcGIS, trend coefficient and correlational analysis method. The results are obtained as follows. In terms of the interannual relative humidity index distribution, the drought in the growing season mainly concentrated in the period of 2000—2010; the drought in summer and autumn mainly concentrated in the years after 1995 years; the drought in spring have occurred in all the time, and severe drought and extreme drought were in the majority. In terms of the variation trend of relative humidity index, the whole province presents a trend of slightly wetting in spring, and a trend of significant wetting in winter, while a trend of drying in the rest periods, but the spatial difference is significant in different periods. By analyzing the correlation coefficients of precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and relative humidity index, it is found that precipitation has always been the leading factor causing the relative humidity index changes in the growth season and other seasons in Heilongjiang Province, but the impact of potential evapotranspiration in summer has increased.
