| Abstract: | The study of
rainfall during various seasons in Salem (11o40’9.97’’N,
78o8’27.11”E), a town in southern India has been reported in the
present paper. The variability has also been discussed in terms of the
accumulated rainfall (R), the number of hours of rainfall (RH) and the average
rainfall (avg), as well as the percentage occurrence of very low, low,
moderate, heavy, very heavy and extreme rainfall in these seasons. A particular
effort has been made to determine the effect of El Nino and La Nina on patterns
of rainfall. The meteorological parameters, such as cloud liquid water (CLW),
precipitation water (PW) and latent heat (LH) have also been determined for
various seasons. The study shows that there exists a significant degree of
correlation between rainfall and these meteorological parameters. A functional
relationship has also been established between the intensity of convective
rainfall and CLW, PW and LH. |
