Climate variability and warming in Coastal Odisha: assessing interannual temperature trends and impacts.

ABSTRACT: Coastal Odisha, strategically positioned between the Bay of Bengal and a vast inland landmass, is highly susceptible to climate change and variability impacts. This study comprehensively examines interannual temperature variability and its relationship with mean seasonal temperature using 54 years of homogenised surface meteorological data (1969-2022) from seven WMO-standard meteorological stations. To assess inter-annual variability in association with mean seasonal temperature and precipitation, a difference of standard deviations (SD) of two periods (e.g. 1969-1996 and 1995-2022) along with the relation between running 28-year values of SD and means of seasonal temperature for the period from 1969 to 2022, F-ratio test along with slope and correlation values have been conducted.
