Mann-Kendall

The present study is mainly concerned with the changing trend of rainfall in a district of Odisha. We have given an effort to analyse one of the most important climatic variable, i.e., precipitation, for analysing the rainfall trend in the area. Daily rainfall data of 102 years from 1901 to 2002 has been processed in the study to find out the monthly variability of rainfall for which the Mann-Kendall (MK) test has been used together with the Sen‟s Slope Estimator for the determination of trend and slope magnitude.

The present study intended to determine potential trends in monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall in the Brahmaputra valley of Assam during 1986-2015, based on observed daily rainfall data from 10 locations. The magnitude of the trends was estimated using TheilSen’s slope method, while statistical significance of the trends was tested using MannKendall rank statistics. Analysis revealed that mean annual rainfall varied from 1653.5 mm in Golaghat to 3676.9 mm in Gossaigaon, with variability in order of 13-32 per cent at different locations.
