drought is one of the natural disasters that causes a lot of damages each year. this phenomenon is a result of severe and repeated spatial-temporal anomalies in atmosphere circulation patterns. thus, studying and identifying the synoptic patterns of this phenomenon is inevitably necessary. in this study, first yearly rainfalls in selected stations of the uremia lake basin were temporally standa...

Global precipitation data sets with high spatial and temporal resolution are needed for many applications, but they were unavailable before the recent creation of several such satellite products. Here, we evaluate four different satellite data sets of hourly or 3-hourly precipitation (namely CMORPH, PERSIANN, TRMM 3B42 and a microwave-only product referred to as MI) by comparing the spatial pat...

in this research the daily data of 69 climatic variables (wind direction, wind speed, dry temperature, wet temperature, maximum and minimum temperature, average daily temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, station level pressure, cloudiness, horizontal visibility, vapor pressure, …) of abumoosa synoptic station during the years 1362-1388 were studied. initially, a data base of variabl...

Though one of the most significant driving forces behind ecological processessuch as biogeochemical cycles and energy flows, solar radiation data are limited or non-existent by conventional ground-based measurements, and thus, often estimated from othermeteorological data through (geo)statistical models. In this study, spatial and temporalpatterns of monthly average daily solar radiation on a h...

the writers of this research have studied seven variables including: precipitation, relative humidity, sunny hours, temperature average, temperature minimum, temperature maximum and sea level pressure, at sanandaj air station during 1964-1994. sanandaj air station has nearly 10966 days of complete data for these variables. a principal component analysis (pca) has been applied on this data; then...
