The remote sensing technology is used to analyze the periodic changes of precipitation in the semi-arid areas of northern China and provide a reference basis for precipitation prediction. Authors were based on GPS observation data and corresponding ground meteorological parameters to obtain the study area’s comprehensive water vapor content value and use precipitation and time to establish a linear regression equation based on the content value to express the precipitation trend change. The periodic structure and abnormal changes of the periodic precipitation series on different time scales were obtained through wavelet analysis, combined with anomaly calculations to analyze the increase and decrease precipitation characteristics. The Morlet continuous wavelet transform map was also used to reflect the periodic oscillations of precipitation on different time scales. The wavelet variance map was used to reflect the distribution of regional precipitation with scale years. The authors analyzed the cycle change characteristics of the comprehensive precipitation series in Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, and Dalian. They concluded that the annual precipitation in the four regions showed a decreasing trend in 50 years. And through the wavelet cycle frequency-domain relationship change law, the change characteristics of precipitation in the northern semi-arid area in the entire time domain were obtained.

Con el fin de proporcionar una base de referencia para la predicción de la precipitación, este estudio utilizó la tecnología de teledetección para analizar los cambios periódicos de la precipitación en las zonas semiáridas del norte de China. Se usaron los datos de observación GPS y los parámetros meteorológicos terrestres correspondientes para obtener el valor integral del contenido de vapor de agua del área de estudio, y se usó la precipitación y el tiempo para establecer una ecuación de regresión lineal basada en el valor del contenido para expresar el cambio de tendencia de la precipitación en el área. A través del análisis de ondículas se obtuvo la estructura periódica y los cambios anormales de las series periódicas de precipitación en diferentes escalas de tiempo, combinadas con cálculos de anomalías para analizar las características de aumento y disminución de la precipitación. El mapa de transformación de ondas continuas de Morlet se utilizó para reflejar las oscilaciones periódicas de la precipitación en diferentes escalas de tiempo. Mientras que el mapa de varianza de ondículas se utilizó para reflejar la distribución de la precipitación regional a escala de años. Se analizaron las características del cambio de ciclo de la serie integral de precipitación en Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang y Dalian, y se concluyó que la precipitación anual en las cuatro regiones mostró una tendencia decreciente en 50 años. Y a través de la ley de cambio de la relación del dominio de la frecuencia del ciclo de las ondas, se obtuvieron las características de cambio de la precipitación en el área semiárida del norte en todo el período analizado.
