Outline of the Presentation

Background of the study

Objectives
Data information
Possible outcomes
Societal benefits
Background of Temperature and Rainfall
Pattern

Rising of global temperatures due to climate change will

bring changes in weather events.

The damaging impact of temperature and rainfall

change in Bangladesh will drastically affect crop
productivity and food security.

A warmer Earth may lead to impacts on plants, wildlife,

and humans.
Effects of Temperature and Rainfall
Objectives

Assessment of temperature change and rainfall

pattern in the selected stations.
To identify the most vulnerable areas in respect of
temperature increasing.
To identify the most vulnerable areas in respect of
rainfall pattern change.
Data Information

Type of data used: secondary data

Temperature data(1948-2004)

Rainfall data(1948-2004)
Data source:

Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD)

Rain Gauge Data

•The precipitation is measured

in a rain gauge
•BMD installed rain gauges
throughout Bangladesh.
•34 rain gauge stations

Methodology

DATA DATA
COLLECTION PROCESSING

OUTPUT CONTOUR MAP

(MAPS/GRAPH/CHART)
Software Used

Microsoft Excel
Arc View GIS 3.2
Possible Outcomes

Spatial variation of temperature and rainfall

pattern on GIS maps.
Trend line of decade wise temperature
Trend line of decade wise rainfall
Pie charts of both temperature and rainfall
Societal Benefits

Crop production is largely dependent on temperature

and rainfall.
Agricultural scientists can suggest on cultivation and
harvesting period on the basis of temperature and
rainfall change.
Meteorologists can predict on future weather trend on
the basis of current change.
Effects of Inadequate Rainfall
Societal Benefits(Cont…)

Helpful for engineers and planners for designing

urban drainage system.
For analyzing runoff pattern.
To give up-to-date information regarding rainfall
characteristics.
