Abstract

Statistical analysis of rainfall pattern and its variability for 20 years (1990-2010) data is performed for two mountainous urban centres of Uttarakhand i.e. Almora (29.60 N, 79.670 E and altitude 1,204m asl) and Nainital (29.40 N, 79.470 E and altitude 2,020m asl). Non Parametric method of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) gives the correlation between different extreme rainfall indices. It is concluded that PCA suggest 90% of the variance in composite matrix of extreme rainfall indices.
