Abstract:Based on the daily precipitation data during the flood season along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway in Jiangxi province from 1961 to 2019, the spatio-temporal variation characteristics of extreme precipitation were analyzed. It mainly presents a spatial distribution pattern that the extreme precipitation gradually increases from the west section to the eastern part, and increase faster at the east section. From the perspective of time series, except for CWD the other extreme precipitation indexes showed an insignificant increasing trend, and all indexes showed a certain decadal fluctuation. According to statistical analysis, the extreme precipitation along Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway was stronger in 2010, and several indexes appeared extreme values in this year. Furthermore, through M-K nonparametric test and sliding t test, it was found that except for the abrupt change of CWD around 1989, no abrupt change was detected in the other extreme precipitation indices. Finally, by means of EOF and REOF analysis reveals that the spatial distribution of extreme precipitation index of flood season along Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway can be divided into three objective partitions: the eastern part of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, western part and middle part of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway. The preliminary study shows that there is a certain correlation between extreme precipitation and ENSO.
