Abstract  Using the daily precipitation data(1960—2004)of 107 meteorological stations, and the methods of EOF, REOF and wavelet analysis, we analyzed the basic temporal-spatial distributions of extreme drought period and its cycles and abrupt time in Northwest China. The results show that there are close relationships between average distribution of extreme drought period and altitude, geographical location. The first load vector of extreme drought period variations has the characteristic of spatial consistency, and the second has adverse variation trend in east and west part. The rotated load vectors reflect 5 anomaly climatic areas of extreme drought period: northeast of Tibet Plateau, southern Xinjiang, Qinghai, northern Xinjiang and southeast of Northwest China. There is obvious 2~3 years high frequency cycle of extreme drought period in the 5 areas, 16 a and 8~11 a low frequency cycle in southeast of Northwest China and the other 4 areas, respectively. The extreme drought period has been shorting in Xinjiang and Tibet Plateau since 1980s. The distribution of extreme drought period has two abrupt points in northeast of Tibet Plateau, Qinghai and northern Xinjiang, whereas one abrupt point in southern Xinjiang and southeast of Northwest China.
