Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is the maximum possible amount of precipitation which could occur in a gauging station, a region, or in a watershed. Probable maximum precipitation is usually estimated by two general methods: the first is synoptic method in which short period (hourly) meteorological parameters such as dew point, wind speed and air pressure are used. The second is statistica...

This study, adopting an environmental approach to atmospheric circulation, estimates drought periods over a 20-year period (1992-2011) in 21 synoptic stations in Kerman, Yazd and Isfahan provinces, which share a long-term statistical period, using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The data pertinent to 18 teleconnection patterns were derived and compared with climatic data of provinces un...
