Urbanization as a Catalyst for Climate Change in Dehradun

Abstract

These days Climate change considered a major issue among scientists, researchers, planners, politicians. Concerning every climatic component, temperature considers its dynamic effect in identifying climatic variations originate around due to urbanization. Consequently, given paper tries to examine the temperature fluctuations of district Dehradun, by examining year wise time slot details minimum, maximum along with mean temperature from 1967 to 2007. Analysis details have been examined in tri fragments by operating linear reversion as well as by applying irregularities for the entire year 1967 to 2007, one is from 1967 to1987 and second from 1988 to 2007. The research of linear movement designated high trends of annual minimum, maximum as well as mean temperatures. Throughout year 1967 to 2007 annual minimum, maximum along with mean temperatures upturned approximately to0.49^◦C, 0.43^◦C, along with 0.38^◦C respectively. However, temperature rise in second phase was marked more in concept to initial phase. Nevertheless, temperature rise in second stage was a lot more considered in proportion to very first stage. Through the second phase yearly (1988–2007) minimum, maximum along with mean temperatures upturned approximately to 0.59^◦C, 0.54^◦C, and 0.42^◦C, respectively. Noticeable temperature rises throughout the 2^nd stage is primarily linked to urbanization system originated for Dehradun especially after turning into the state capital of currently established Uttarakhand state after season 2000. Evaluation, in addition, highlights drastically the job of severe susceptibility of increasing temperatures at Dehradun.
