Figure 1. Climate change impacts in the Indian Sundarbans: (a) trends in summer and (b) winter temperature; (c) monsoon precipitation anomalies; (d) monsoon precipitation trend (computed using CRU TS v. 4.06); (e) major weather events that impacted the Sundarbans in the period 1988–2020 (TD = tropical depression, TS = tropical storm, H1–H5: Category 1–5 cyclone based on the Saffir–Simpson scale) (computed using the information available on Sharma et al., Citation2022); and (f) maximum sustained wind speed in km/h of the major events during 1988–2020 coded as C1988–C2020 (computed using the information available on Sharma et al., Citation2022).
