The　scaling　and　multifractal　properties　of　drought　conditions　of　different　regions　in　China　were　explored　by　employing　multifractal　detrended　fluctuation　analysis.　Results　show　that　the　long-range　correlation　of　the　drought　series　in　northern　China　is　stronger　than　that　in　southern　China,　and　that　scaling　properties　vary　at　different　time-scales.　The　scaling　behaviors　of　the　drought　series　in　all　of　the　regions　are　separated　by　a　common　crossover　time-scale　of　around　1.5　years.　The　three　regions　of　north　China,　southwest　China,　and　the　Yangtze　River　basin　exhibited　an　additional　crossover　at　a　9-year　scale.　The　drought　time　series　are　stationary　and　long-range　correlated　at　a　time-scale　of　1.5　years　in　all　the　regions　and　at　a　time-scale　longer　than　9　years　in　northern　China,　southwest　China,　and　the　Yangtze　River　basin.　They　are　however　non-persistent　at　a　1.5-to-9-year　scale.　Meanwhile,　the　h(q)　curves　indicate　that　the　drought　series　are　multifractal.　©　2014　IEEE.
