Comparison of EIP using historical and future climate data
To understand the effect of climate change with the historical and future climate temperature on the EIP, we have used average temperature for the year 2000-2018 (historical temperature data) and average temperature of 2021-2040 (future temperature data), using data from WorldClim (www.worldclim.org ). The EIP calculated using both these data is shown in Figure 6. The effects of global warming are clearly seen, i.e., with high temperature for the year 2021-2040, the EIP is shorter as compared to the lower temperatures across the period 2000-2018.
