Abstract

A statistical study of monsoon daily rainfall at Maithon during the period 1968-1982, is carried out by Markovian model through one-step transitional probability matrix (stochastic matrix), obtained from one transitional state to other for different rainfall characteristics. By the knowledge of the 'Information Theory', the uncertainty (or disordemess) of the transitional system of the monsoon rainfall characteristics (such as non-rainy days, light rains, moderate rains, heavy rains & very heavy rains) according to definition are studied. The favorable Unfavorable condition of different states during the monsoon period at Maithon are also studied by the  redundancy test.
