Then the climatic character istics in inter-and intra-annual potential evaporation are analyzed. The results show that at 95% confidence level, the trend in annual potential evaporation during 1951-2009 increases significantly. The trends of relativity humidity and solar radiation decrease, temperature increases, and wind speed shows no trend in Beijing station. The sensitivity to potential evaporation (ET0) from strong to weak is relativie humidity, temperature, solar radiation and wind speed. Considering the fluctuation variation pattern of climatic variables, the contribution of temperature, VDP, wind speed and solar radiation is 13%, 58%, 17% and 11% respectively. This suggests the fluctuation of climatic variables have great effect on the change pattern of ET0, especially the wind speed. In order to detect how climatic variables affect ET0, this paper uses the detrend method considering the inter-annual change pattern combined with sensitivity of climatic variables. The detrend analysis demonstrate that the increasing temperature and decreasing relativie humidity are the main cause for increasing potential evaporation. As to the decreasing shortwave radiation, the ET0 slightly decreases, but no change in its increasing trend. %U https://www.jnr.ac.cn/EN/10.11849/zrzyxb.2013.11.008
