on monthly air temperature and precipitation data at six stations from 1961 to 2004 around the Kumtage desert,the
variation characteristics of winter and summer air temperature,annual temperature range and summer precipitation around the region
were analyzed. The results show that the variation of air temperature and precipitation at six stations had well comparability and consistency
and presented increasing trend with obviously warm - wet change. Except for annual temperature range,the summer precipitation,
winter and summer air temperature all occurred climate jump. They were found by period analysis that the dominating period of
summer precipitation and air temperature before 1970 was about 12 years,and after 1970,it was 24 years,but the dominating period
of winter air temperature and annual temperature range was about 8 years.
