Abstract:
Rainfall variability has a substantial impact on water supplies, agricultural output, and, as a result, the economy. It examines the historical spatiotemporal variability and trend of rainfall on Jharkhand's annual and seasonal time series state over a 60-year period (1954–2013). The goal of this study was to find trends in long and short-term changes in rainfall amounts in the Jharkhand region at various spatial scales. With the help of the wavelet technique, we were able to determine the periodicity of rainfall over time and identify active and break days in the monsoon season. When the OLR positive anomaly increases, rainfall decreases (Break days), and when the OLR negative anomaly increases, rainfall increases (Active days). The Indian summer monsoon extreme is also strongly linked to the Equatorial Indian Ocean Oscillation (EQUINOO), which is based on surface zonal wind across the central equatorial Indian Ocean. Because the Bay of Bengal is next to Jharkhand, local disturbances or cyclonic events are also discovered and their impact on rainfall is investigated.
