Geostatistical and Spatial Statistical Modelling of Precipitation Varia-tions in Iran
Author(s): Majid JavariMajid Javari
This study examines the geostatistics and spatial relationships between annual, seasonal and monthly rainfall in Iran for the period 1975-2014. Precipitation variation models were com-pared in Iran deriving from six geostatis-tical, four regression and five spatial models, using monthly data. A geostatistical and spatial statistical analysis consisting of two measurement sub-models was created based on monthly accumulated precipitation; the data was the monthly and seasonal amounts for the period 1975 - 2014, and were estimated from 140 stations. The results of the new geostatistical-spatial statistical analysis model showed that average monthly precipitation se-ries in Iran were revealed to follow Gaussian distribution given their histogram plots and closeness of their mean and median values. On average, monthly precipitation ranged from 3.22 mm in April to 47.157 mm in December in I.. Read More»
