Analysis of long term trends of rainfall and temperature of Andit tid watershed, central highland of Ethiopia

The impacts of climate change and climate variability on human life led the scientific community to monitor the behavior of weather and climate variables. As a responsible body in the present study, trends and variations in climatic variables (i.e. rainfall, air temperature and soil temperature) we...
