S.N. Parameter Formula
1 Coefficient of variation (C.V.) 100 *Standard Deviation
Average
2 Inter-annual variability Difference between two consecutive years(Δ)
3 Annual variability(AV) Annual climate data- long term mean climate data( μ) or(Climate
variability, t= Annual climate, t-Average climate)
4 Rainfall index (δi) δi=(Pi-μ)/σ, (δ is rainfall index for year , Pi is annual rainfall for year
i and μ is mean rainfall and σ as standard deviation)
4 Anomaly Main value of particular year-normal average base year climatological
data
6 Productivity loss or gain Yield loss (%)=[(Annual yield loss or gain (t\ha)*100)]/ Average
catchment yield)
7 Planted area loss Loss of planted area (%)= [Area loss*100]/planted area
8 Catchment yield gap Yield gap (%)=[yield gap (t\ha)*100]/ Highest catchment yield in the
time series period
