Exploring the Future Rainfall Characteristics over India from Large Ensemble Global Warming Experiments

Sridhara Nayak    

Resumen

We investigated rainfall patterns over India for the period from 1951 to 2010 and predicted changes for the next century (2051?2100) with an assumed 4K warming from large ensemble experiments (190 members). We focused on rainfall patterns during two periods of present-day climate (1951?1980 and 1981?2010) and their projected changes for the near and far future (2051?2080 and 2081?2110). Our analysis found that the northeastern region of India and some southern regions received higher rainfall during the period of 1951?2010, which is consistent with daily observations from the Asian Precipitation Highly Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation (APHRODITE). In the warming climate, rainfall events in India are predicted to carry more precipitation, with the northeast and southern regions experiencing stronger rainfall events. The frequency and intensity of these events (with more than 20 mm of rainfall per day, on average) are also expected to increase. Overall, our study suggests that water-related disasters such as flooding and landslides could be much worse in India in the future due to climate warming.
