Targeted Training Activity (TTA) on “ENSO Monsoon in the Current and Future Climate” Group: South Asia B Bazlu, Khaled, Ashfaqur, Adnan, Zahid, Vivek, Azhar & Hasan Analysis of Bangladesh Climate in perspective of CMIP5 Models
Bangladesh is vulnerable due to its position in the globe(South east Asian country) of area about 147,570 sq. Km. Lat: 20°45' to 26°40'N Long: 88°05' to 92°40’E Bangladesh is a land of about 230 rivers. But its 57 rivers originate from outside. The major rivers-Meghna, Jumana Padma and Brahmaputra. GEOGRAPHY OF BANGLADESH

JJAS Climatology: Temperature (°C)
V ariability of the Surface temperature
Annual Cycle: Temperature (°C)

JJAS Climatology: Rainfall (mm/day)
Annual Cycle:Rainfall (mm/day)
87.5:93.5E; 20.5:27.0N Inter-annual variability of Rainfall

Future Projection
Difference of Std for the future period w.r.t base
% Change of the rainfall for the period w.r.t
Conclusions CNRM is a good model for simulating Rainfall very well. HadGEM, is different from the other models in future projections. All the models are showing increase of rainfall over Bangladesh and the temperature variability in the tropical pacific except HadGEM in future.
