Development of Longest Rainfall Series

1871-2003: Area-averaged values using all available data

Prior to 1871: Constructed values using established objective method on limited observations. (Reliability of each constructed rainfall mount is indicated by giving correlation coefficient between representative rainfall series (1871-2000) and the corresponding rainfall series of mean rainfall series of the lesser available gauges).

CONTENTS

1. Longest instrumental monthly, seasonal (win, sum, monsoon, post-monsoon, Jun-Jul_Aug, Jul-Aug, Oct-Nov and May-Nov) and monsoon monthly rainfall data of seven homogeneous zones, 21 states and different meteorological subdivisions for the period during 1813-2003 (depending upon available data from the region/sub-region) in tabular form.

2. Time series plots of annual, seasonal (win, sum, monoon and post-mon) and monsoon monthly rainfall.

3. Normal annual potential evapotranspiration (PE), start, duration and end of rainy season, number of rainy days (days with rainfall greater than 2.5 mm), wet/dry epochs in the annual rainfall temporal pattern etc.
