Rainfall seasonality over India is studied using an individual seasonality index. The spatial distribution of the individual seasonality index and the mean individual seasonality index over two periods, that is, early (1901–1970) and recent (1971–2015), is analysed. Trend analysis using linear regression during these two periods shows a declining trend in seasonality index (i.e. decreasing values of the index), which impends shorter dry periods resulting in more consistent rainfall throughout the year in some parts of India during the recent period (1971–2015).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
