PATTERN OF RAINFALL DISTRIBUTION IN RAJASTHAN

Suyash Anand

Abstract :

 The degree to which rainfall amounts vary across an area or through time is an important characteristic of climate of that area. This subject area in meteorology and climatology is called ‘Rainfall Variability’. Rainfall Variability explains the availability of water at a particular time and area. There are 2 components of rainfall variability – Areal and Temporal Variability. Temporal variation analysis helps to explain the nature of rainfall variability across time–span. Simulation models predict an increased hydrological cycle and an increase in mean annual rainfall over most of Asia but there is a large degree of variation in these predictions. Some studies suggest an increase of 30% or more in precipitation over north–western India by 2050 and an increase in the probability of extreme rainfall events.
