Mountain microclimate is governed by the interplay of insolation, wind, air temperature and topographic dispositions. The lack of appropriate scientific baseline data in all across Indian Himalaya is impairing effective planning process as implementation are being carried out at village clusters at a local scale. This study investigates spatial rainfall variability during the four crucial months of monsoon in a microwatershed (<10km2 ) that is part of large watershed in southern slopes of Lesser Himalaya. To understand the altitudinal variability in terms of daily rain and rainfall isotope variability, samples were collected along transect of 5000m within an altitudinal variability of 700m. The isotopic lapse rate (altitude effect) deciphered at a local s... view moreĀ»
