Identification of variations in meteorological parameters at Ooty due to temperature difference using SPSS software

Due to increase in earth’s average temperature global warming is evident in recent decades. Because of this climate change phenomenon, world’s mean surface temperature lifted by 0.6°C in the course of twentieth century. Present paper tries to investigate the influence of global warming on meteorological parameters for high altitude region Ooty, Tamil Nadu by segregating/analyzing the data collected from Indian Meteorological Department, Chennai for past three decades. With the help of statistical analysis such as Descriptive Analysis and Correlation Co-efficient Analysis, recent annual/seasonal warming trends are computed in the context of climate change. Also, the ratios are used to identify the impacts of temperature difference on other meteorological parameters by utilizing Statistical Package for Social Sciences (ver. 14.0) software. Finally, variations in Rainfall and runoff are calculated with reference to the differences in annual temperature.
