Projected changes in extreme precipitation indices over the Lake Urmia basin in Iran

Temporal and spatial distribution of extreme precipitation indices over the lake Urmia Basin, Iran

Trends of Extreme Temperature Over the Lake Urmia Basin, Iran, During 1987-2014

The variability of temperature extremes has been the focus of attention during the past several decades and had a great influence on the hydrologic cycle. A long-term, high-quality daily maximum (TX) and minimum temperature (TN) of seven stations was used to determine the spatial and temporal characteristics of extreme temperature events in Lake Urmia Basin in Iran during 1987 to 2014. The RCli...

assessment of regional precipitation trend in the lake urmia basin

abstract recent global warming has led to a change in the global hydrological cycle and an increase in extreme events such as flood and drought at the global and continental scales. however, at the regional scale, the magnitude of warming and the resulting changes in water resources are different from one region to another. unlike air temperature whose increase is evident throughout the world, ...
