Impact of Climate Change on Daily Maximum Temperature of the Brahmaputra River Basin
The climate change across the globe basically happens due to the emissions of the greenhouse gases. Climate change is linked to the changes in both the temperature and precipitation cycles. These changes lead to the spatial and temporal variations of the global precipitation patterns. Consequently, the water resources are affected in terms of both the quantity and quality of natural water bodies. The Brahmaputra River Basin having wide spatial variations in topography as well as weather components is also susceptible to the impacts of global climate change. The present study is forwarded to assess the future climate change of this mighty river basin with special emphasis on the daily maximum temperature (TMax) during 2020–2100. Initially, the interpolated and bias corrected historical variables of several GCMs were analyzed to identify one GCM suitable for the present area. Finally, Mann–Kendall test and Sen’s slope method were applied to determine the trend in the future TMax. The results show that the mean value of the daily temperature would increase by 0.08 °C per year.
