| Zusammenfassung |
| Snowmelt is a significant recharge source of arid basins in Northwestern China. Climate
warming has a great impact on the snowmelt in the spring and thus changes the hydrographs
of those river basins. In this study, change in the triggering of snowmelt in winter/spring
(January 1 to May 31) of the Kaidu River (KD) was analyzed by the temporal centroid of
streamflow or ‘center time’ (CT) for each year from the years 1972 to 2008. CT is
the flow-weighted timing which is a reflection of the climatic conditions and is
generally sufficient for estimating the timing of snowmelt. The analysis revealed that
winter/spring center time (WSCT) data generally has a significant decreasing trend
according to Mann–Kendall test (P |
