“…The global reanalysis data sets are available at http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/cdc/data.ncep.reanalysis.surface.html (Kalnay et al, 1996) and are preferred over other reanalyzes data as it offers a longer period of availability. These data sets have been generally used in several spatiotemporal climate studies (Bhatla et al, 2022;Sahana et al, 2015;Yanai & Tomita, 1998). The mean daily reanalysis parameters such are rainfall, surface pressure, surface temperature, wind (zonal & meridional), cloud cover (CC), Latent heat Flux (LHF), Net outgoing longwave Radiation Flux 1961 & Recent (T2) Epochs) Followed by Vishnu et al (2022) Time period Drought Flood 1961-2020 Total drought years (15 events) Total flood years (8 events) 1961-1990 (T1) 1965, 1966, 1968, 1972, 1974, 1979, 1982, 1985,1986, 1987 1961, 1970, 1975, 1983, 1988 1991-2020 (T2) 2002, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2015 1994, 2007, 2019 (NLWRF), Net incoming shortwave radiation flux (NSWRF), and net heat flux (NHF).…”
