چکیده
For close to 70 years, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has provided seasonal water supply outlooks for use by Western US water managers. These outlooks are a critical component in effective water management and are utilized by a broad spectrum of users for a variety of purposes, ranging from irrigated agriculture, flood control, municipal water supply, endangered species protection, power generation and recreation.

Wave Hindcast Study of the Caspian Sea
The significant effect of waves on coastal and marine activities urges the precise identification of wave characteristics using field measurements, theoretical studies, physical modeling or numerical simulations. In order to study thoroughly the wave climate in the Caspian Sea, a wave modeling and hindcast project was performed by Iranian National Center for Oceanography. In this study, one of ...
متن کاملSimulation of climate change in Iran during 2071-2100 using PRECIS regional climate modelling system
Parameters such as future precipitation, temperature, snowfall, and runoff were modeled using PRECIS regionalclimate modeling system in Iran with the horizontal resolutions of 0.44×0.44°C in latitude and longitude under SRESA2 and B2 scenarios. The dataset was based on HadAM3p during the periods of 1961-1990 and 2071-2100. Theoverall precipitation error of the model in the period of 1961-1990 w...
