Abstract

The El Nino or Southern Oscillation is the outcome of the strong coupling and interactions between the Tropical Ocean and Atmosphere, which plays a major role in the development of global climatic system. In this study, a data set containing the Monthly Rainfall in Tamilnadu and a data set containing the Sea Surface Temperature of Nino 3.4 for 59 years (1950 - 2008) are used to model and analyse the impact of El Nino events in the Annual Rainfall of Tamilnadu through Intervention analysis. The experimental results show that the ARIMA - Intervention model is more precise in explaining and analysing the effect of Intervention events.
