Historical temporal variation in precipitation over Western Himalayan Region: 1857-2006
This study has examined the temporal variation in monthly, seasonal & annual precipitation over the Western Himalayan Region (WHR) and the influence of global teleconnections, like the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Southern Oscillation (SO) Indices on seasonal & annual precipitation....
