characterization and analysis of the trend of climate variable (temperatures) for the north eastern region of the india

Trend analysis of climatic variables has received a great deal of attention from researchers recently. By trend analysis of the climate variables the better prediction of the weather conditions and consequences can be taking place. The main aim of this study was to investigate trends in maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) air temperatures in the annual and seasonal time-scales for six stations in the hilly region of North East India during 1901-2000. From the results it is clear that the majority of the trends in the annual and seasonal Tmax and Tmin time series showed increasing tendency during the last decades while the increasing trends in the Tmin series were stronger than those in the Tmax series.
