Meteorological/Climatic phenomena affect the human activity of agricultural products, the contamination of atmosphere and water quality. Meteorological disasters such as cyclones and floods cause damage and contribute as water resources through precipitation.

Description:
Summer Monsoon Flood in Dhaka of August, 2012
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the quantitative impact of meteorological and climatological components on human activity. In particular, we will focus on the relationship of surface weather variables to the amount of rice product and the prevalence of infectious diseases. Meteorological phenomena has the time scales of yearly, seasonally and daily variation. We will find out the preceding key parameter indices and investigate the possibility of prediction, which may be available to those in the other regions except the tropical region. The results of this research will contribute to the reduction of person’s who succumb to infectious diseases and the increase of rice production in Bangladesh.
