Spatio-temporal analysis of diurnal air temperature parameterization in Weather Stations over Iran
Authors
Abstract:
Diurnal air temperature modeling is a beneficial experimental and mathematical approach which can be used in many fields related to Geosciences. The modeling and spatio-temporal analysis of air Diurnal Temperature Cycle (DTC) was conducted using data obtained from 105 synoptic stations in Iran during the years 2013-2014 for the first time; the key variable for controlling the cosine term in DTC modeling known as β was analyzed and considered both as monthly and annual parameter. The effect of environmental variables of humidity, pressure, diurnal air temperature range, and wind speed were analyzed on β. The results showed that there is no significant difference between considering β as monthly (dynamic) or annual (constant) parameter through the year. The RMSE of approach with dynamic β was 2.1 °C and with constant 2.2 °C at 95% percent of whole data in all stations. The analysis of environmental variables showed that humidity had an indirect effect on β. Low pressure areas showed higher β values but high pressure areas showed higher variability in β and lower mean values. In areas with high air diurnal temperature range, lower β values with less standard deviation were observed. High wind areas showed positive effect on β values.

Modeling of spatio-temporal of albedo over Iran
The aim of this study is modeling spatiotemporal variations of albedo. This study was conducted using simultaneous effects of several components, such as wetness of surface layer of soil, cloudiness, topography and vegetation density (NDVI), using MEERA2 model with a resolution of 50 in 50 km during 2000-2010 in Iran. The results of spatial analysis of albedo values in Iran showed that the high...
