An assessment framework for Precipitation decision making using AHP

Abstract

This work aims to study the relation between Precipitation and six of its various climatic factors. The analysis shows how much is the contribution of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration, Average Temperature, Wet Day frequency, Potential Evapotranspiration, Vapor Pressure and the Cloud Cover towards precipitation. For the purpose of finding the percentage of contribution by every parameter on Precipitation, we use a method called Analytical Hierarchical Processing. Basically, Analytical Hierarchical Processing is used for decision making.
