2 Outline Investigate trends, patterns, intensity, magnitude and frequency of Extreme Rainfall events of Bangladesh. Changes of future rainfall extreme through rainfall extreme indicators using regional climate model data. Possible changes of climate extremes for the various hydrological regions of Bangladesh.

3 Introduction Changes of the rainfall extremes has profound impact on the economy, livelihood and ecosystems of Bangladesh. The high-intensity rainfall has become more frequent in the recent years, which is evident from the events like 341mm of rainfall in 8 hours in 2004 and 333mm of rainfall in 2009 in Dhaka, and 408mm of rainfall in 2007 in Chittagong. These rainfall events indicate a change in extreme rainfall characteristics in Bangladesh. This study conducted a detailed analysis of the changes of the trends of the heavy rainfall, its pattern, magnitude, frequency, and intensity.

4 Climate of Bangladesh There are four climatic seasons in Bangladesh. Pre-monsoon season characterized by hot weather consist of March, April and May. Monsoon season, when almost 80% of rainfall occurs starts from June and end it by September. October and November are termed as Post Monsoon and December, January and February represents dry winter season.

5 Hydrological Regions of Bangladesh Eight hydrological planning regions of Bangladesh classified by Water Resources Planning Organization to facilitate water management of the country. These regions are: North East (NE), North Central (NC), North West (NW), South East (SE), South Central (SC), South West (SW), Eastern Hill (EH) and River and Estuary (RE). NW NC SE NE Results obtained from this study has presented for the stations in one of the eight hydrological (planning) regions of Bangladesh as per NWMP, SW SC RE EH

7 Data Quality and consistency check of meteorological data Although Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD)has thirty seven ground based stations, but only data of thirty five (35) stations are available. At initial stage, quality of rainfall and temperature data are checked by verifying the following criteria (Peralta-Hernandez et al., 2009; Shahid, 2011)- Non-existence of dates Negative daily precipitation Daily winter rainfall>100mm Consecutive dry days > 10 in Monsoon Weather stations>35% missing data Stations with gaps three or more years in between series

8 Selection of Meteorological stations Stations that are not able to fulfilling the criteria of quality check are rejected. So, six BMD stations Chittagong(Patenga), Chuadanga, Kutubdia, Mongla, Sayedpur, Tangail are discarded after following the preceding conditions considering data period from 1961 to The investigation has been carried out using daily records of rainfall from 29 ground based stations of Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) distributed over the country during the time period

9 Homogeneity Test R-based program, RHtest, developed at the Meteorological Service of Canada, is used to detect non-homogeneities in the daily data series. This software uses a two phase regression model to check the multiple step-change points that could exist in a time series (Wang, 2003). Non-homogeneous data sets are eliminated based on the above test from the trend analysis.

10 SDII (mm/day) Trend Analysis To smooth out short-term fluctuations and highlight longerterm trends or cycles, five-year moving average, a type of finite impulse response filter, is used to analyze and compute the trends of precipitation records (Gallant et al., 2007) Hydrological Regionwise 5 years Moving Average for SDII The computed trends of indices are used non parametric Kendall s tau based slope estimator known as Theil-Sen Slope estimator or Sen s slope estimator. It is more accurate for skewed distribution (e.g. rainfall) than simple linear regression Year 5 years moving average (NE) 5 years moving average (NW) 5 years moving average (NC) 5 years moving average (SE) 5 years moving average (SW) 5 years moving average (SC)

12 Decadal Changes of Annual Rainfall

13 Extreme Climate using Indices A total of 11 indices for the precipitation at different thresholds have been calculated. These indices greatly facilitate assessment of the changes in precipitation and temperature patterns, intensities, frequency and extremes. Annual and seasonal trends of precipitation indices and their spatial distributions are analyzed. A software RClimDex 2.14, has been used for processing data and calculating indices.

22 Regional Climate Change Scenarios GCM provides climate change predictions in a coarser resolution (>100km) which often fail to capture the sub-grid scale processes such as cloud formation occurs within 10km. Regional climate change modeling is dynamically downscaled using the same physical model but for a limited areas. PRECIS regional climate model has been used to dynamically downscaled to generate climate change information at a spatial resolution of 25km.

23 Future Climate Change Scenarios using Multi-member simulations of PRECIS UK Met office Hadley Center s Regional Climate Model is used for downscaling GCM data at 25km resolution. The Quantifying Uncertainty in Model Predictions (QUMP)ensembles of 17 members of A1B scenarios are used to provide probabilistic predictions of future climate over the GBM basins. RCM domain with 25km resolution

24 17 Member QUMP ensembles Comparing the Global mean temperature change ( 0 C) of the 17 member ensemble of HadCM3 with AR4 GCMs (Collins et al., 2011) Atmospheric CO 2 concentrations (ppm) for the SRES A1B emissions scenario along with the four RCP scenarios (Rogelj et al., 2012)

25 Predictions of future changes using Regional Climate Model results Decadal changes in annual rainfalls in the future are also determined. Regional climate model PRECIS is used to predict various climatic parameters such as temperature and rainfall over Bangladesh. The data of the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) A1B, which is a moderate emission scenario (a balance across all sources), have been used to generate the PRECIS model. Results of PRECIS simulation for 2020s ( ), 2050s ( ) and 2080s ( ) are used in this study.

27 Changes of one day maximum precipitation, RX1 for 2050s and 2080s from baseline for the premonsoon, monsoon and post monsoon seasons Pre-monsoon Monsoon Post-monsoon 2050s Pre-monsoon Monsoon Post-monsoon 2080s

28 Future changes of the Number of Days above Rainfall 20mm (RX20) 2020s 2050s 2080s

29 Conclusions Monthly maximum one day precipitation (RX1) and the monthly maximum five days precipitation (RX5) exhibit non-significant increasing trends at 65% and 75% BMD stations, respectively. The total amount of annual precipitation (PRCPTOT) is increasing for all the eight regions along with increasing trends in consecutive dry days (CDD). It is prominent in the EH region with the highest increasing trend of 6.12 mm/year of PRCPTOT and day/year of CDD. This indicates that a higher amount of rainfall will occur within a shorter period of time.

30 Conclusions Present Day climate Annual total precipitation greater than the 95 th percentile (R95) also exhibits an increasing trend except in the NE hydrological region. Rainfall greater than 100 mm (R100) is also decreasing in the NE region. Although the trend in PRCPTOT is increasing, this trend ( mm/year) is relatively less significant than others in this particular region. CDD is also found to be increasing. Therefore it is predicted that a longer drier condition will prevail in the NE region, where the highest rainfall occurs at present. The SW region shows the highest significant change in precipitation indices whereas the RE region exhibits the least significant variation in precipitation indices. It is revealed from this study that short duration high intensity rainfall is increasing in Bangladesh.

31 Conclusions Present day climate Simple Daily Intensity Index (SDII) is used to analyze variations in daily precipitation intensity over Bangladesh. When the trends at individual stations are considered, 18 stations out of 27 exhibit negative trends. However, SDII higher than 9.5 mm/day shows a decreasing trend. Consecutive Dry Days (CDD) shows the highest significant increasing trend. Although 87.5% BMD stations exhibit increasing trends in CDD, only 25% of trends are significant. It is followed by the Simple Daily Intensity Index (SDII) with a significant negative trend. Analysis of rainfall greater than 10mm, 20mm, 100mm (R10, R20, R100) and the yearly total precipitation amount (PRCPTOT) reveal very few significant trends.

32 Conclusions Future Changes Probabilities of the intensity of precipitation, consecutive 5 day precipitation and heavy precipitation show positive trends of precipitation extremes for all three future time slices. Higher changes are found in the 2080s than 2050s and 2020s. On the other hand, probabilities of consecutive wet days will be reduced in future. The reduction of the probabilities of CWDs represents than the length of monsoon will be shorter but intensified. Among those, five stations show significant negative trends. The probabilities of SDII with respect to four time spans (i.e., 1970s, 2020s, 2050s and 2080s) are analyzed. Such findings show a rapidly increasing trend of present SDII ( ) from 8.0 to 9.5 mm/day.

33 Future Works We are now working on using CORDEX South Asia data from Regional Climate Models derived by the CMIP5 GCMS. Conducting regional rainfall analysis using the BWDB data. Comparing monsoon rainfall trends with large scale atmospheric process using ERA Interim data.
