Comparison of EIP using historical and future climate data
To understand the effect of climate change with the historical and
future climate temperature on the EIP, we have used average temperature
for the year 2000-2018 (historical temperature data) and average
temperature of 2021-2040 (future temperature data), using data from
WorldClim (www.worldclim.org ).
The EIP calculated using both these data is shown in Figure 6. The
effects of global warming are clearly seen, i.e., with high temperature
for the year 2021-2040, the EIP is shorter as compared to the lower
temperatures across the period 2000-2018.
