abstract

the present research was planned to evaluate the skill of linear stochastic models known as arima and multiplicative seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (sarima) model in the quantitative forecasting of the standard runoff index (sri) in karkheh basin. to this end, sri was computed in monthly and seasonal time scales in 10 hydrometric stations in 1974-75 to 2012-13 period of time and then the modeling of sri time series was done to forecast the one to six months of lead-time and up to two seasons of lead-time. the sri values related to 1974-75 to 1999-2000 were used to develop the model and the residual data (2000-2001 to 2012-13) were used in model validation. in the validation stage, the observed and the predicted values of sri were compared using correlation coefficient, error criteria and statistical tests. finally, models skills were determined in view point of forecasting of lead-time and the time scale of drought evaluation. results showed that the model accuracy in forecasting two months and one season of lead-time was high. in terms of the forecasting of sri values, the skill of sarima in monthly time scale (with a rmse and a mae of 0.61 and 0.45 respectively and a correlation coefficient average of 0.72) was better than its skill in seasonal time scale. the application of sarima in monthly time scale was therefore preferred to its application in seasonal time scale.

Hydrological Drought Forecasting Using Stochastic Models (Case Study: Karkheh watershed Basin)

Hydrological drought refers to a persistently low discharge and volume of water in streams and reservoirs, lasting months or years. Hydrological drought is a natural phenomenon, but it may be exacerbated by human activities. Hydrological droughts are usually related to meteorological droughts, and their recurrence interval varies accordingly. This study pursues to identify a stochastic model (o...

Forecasting irish inflation using ARIMA models

This paper outlines the practical steps which need to be undertaken to use autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) time series models for forecasting Irish inflation. A framework for ARIMA forecasting is drawn up. It considers two alternative approaches to the issue of identifying ARIMA models the Box Jenkins approach and the objective penalty function methods. The emphasis is on forec...

Application of the ARIMA Models in Drought Forecasting Using the Standardized Precipitation Index

The standardized precipitation index (SPI) was used to quantify the classification of drought in the Guanzhong Plain, China. The autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models were developed to fit and forecast the SPI series. Most of the selected ARIMA models are seasonal models (SARIMA). The forecast results show that the forecasting power of the ARIMA models increases with the incre...

Drought Forecasting with Vegetation Temperature Condition Index Using ARIMA Models in the Guanzhong Plain

This paper works on the agricultural drought forecasting in the Guanzhong Plain of China using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models based on the time series of drought monitoring results of Vegetation Temperature Condition Index (VTCI). About 90 VTCI images derived from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data were selected to develop the ARIMA models from the er...
