Monthly Rainfall Analysis in West Part of Chongqing

Abstract:

Rainfall information is critical in understanding the hydrologic balance on a global scale and the complex interactions among the small-and large-scale components within the hydrologic cycle [1]. In this study, the monthly rainfall data from 1976 to 2006 at the stations of Rongchang, Dazu, Tongliang and Yongchuan were used to analyze the statistical characteristics and trends of rainfall changes in the west of Chongqing. The average monthly rainfall at Rongchang, Dazu, Tongliang and Yongchuan were 89.4mm, 83.5mm, 88.3mm and 84.8mm in thirty years. The probability distribution of rainfall is a normal distribution. Moreover, the histogram of frequencies showed a clear tendency toward a obvious seasonality of the rainfall distribution [2].
