Firstly, the method of rebuilding the time series imbedding space is introduced, and themain indecies including correlation dimension D, Lyapunov exponent and Kolomogorov entropy, whichcharacterize the chaotic behavior, are described. Then, taking glacier outburst floods of Yarkand River,a typical inordinate phenomenon of natural system, as an example, the process and mechanism of glacier outburst floods in high mountain area are investigated from a time series of the floods. The resultshows that the time series of the floods has some characteristics of chaotic dynamic system.
