CENTRAL TENDENCY OF ANNUAL EXTREMUM OF AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE AT SILCHAR

Abstract

An analytical method has been developed for determining the true value of the central tendency of each of annual maximum and annual minimum of ambient air temperature at a location. Also, the value of central tendency of each of annual maximum and annual minimum of ambient air temperature at Silchar has been determined by applying the method developed here from the data since the year 1969 onwards. Determination of these two values is based on the assumption that change in temperature over years during the period for which data are available occurs due to change cause only but not due to any assignable cause. The values of these two have been found to be 370.00(in 0.1Degree Celsius) and 86.00(in0.1 Degree Celsius) respectively. 

KEY WORDS :Annual maximum, annual minimum, ambient air temperature, Silchar, analytical method of determination.
