Analysis of Rainfall & Temperature Trend of Jharkhand State

In this book I have studied the Rainfall and Temperature are the interlink indicators of climate change and its eccentricity cause many extreme events such as floods and drought. In the present study an attempt is made to explore changes in rainfall and temperature trend of Jharkhand state using 100 years data from 18 rain gauge stations maintained date collected from India Metrological Department (IMD).Spatial and temporal variation of rainfall and temperature over the entire area were observed on the decadal and annual scale. Statistical method were applied to determine the shifting rainfall pattern. Mann Kendall Test and Sen’s Slope estimator test were applied to determine the trend and magnitude of trend of rainfall and temperature respectively. In the present study an attempt is made to explore changes in rainfall and temperature trend of Jharkhand state using 100 years data from 18 rain gauge stations maintained date collected from India Metrological Department (IMD). Shifting rainfall pattern from July to August.
