Investigation of Climate Extremes: A Study in Dudhnoi River Basin, India
Climate change is a burning research topic in present century. A case study has been conducted to investigate the climate change in Dudhnoi river basin—a sub-watershed of the mighty Brahmaputra River through climate change indicators using daily gridded temperature and precipitation data. Determination of trends in the climate extremes instead of trends in climatic means is one of the main objectives in this study, since extreme events as a result of climate change are more intensive and cause catastrophes. Warming in both day and night temperatures along with the increase in consecutive dry days is the highlight of this study. Also, reduction in annual precipitation and number of consecutive wet days while increasing the occurrence of intense and heavy precipitation amount in short duration of time are the other highlights of the study. Hence, it draws the attention of policymakers to endorse appropriate watershed management plans with robust techniques to tackle climate extremes in the future.
