Abstract

An analysis of the normal rainfall of 167 observatory stations distributed over India and the neighbourhood has been made using regression equations representing monthly and annual rainfall as a linear function of latitude, longitude and elevation above sea level. The multiple CCs are high, being 0.8 to 0.9 except in some months.

 

The anomalies after eliminating the systematic variations have also been studied. These bring to light other factors which influence rainfall, viz., the orographic effects and the effect of lee-side of mountains.
