vegetation cover on a variety of different land uses in different parts of a city creates different forms of heat flow that this, in turn, generates the main framework of urban microclimate. the objective of this study is to survey the effect of land cover type on air temperature in the isfahan city. to do this, five regions in the isfahan city with different land cover type were selected. in e...

introduction the city population, in particular at the industrialized cities and centers of provinces, has increased dramatically in iran during recent decades. arak city as center of markazi province is among those industrialized cities which has experienced a fast increase in population. these changes in population numbers tend to increase consuming water resources as well as increasing in en...

This study was an analytical research across 84 meteorological stations, performed in the Mighan sub-basin over a fifty-year study period (1961–2011).This research seeks to answer the basic question of how declining streamflow, increasing temperatures, and fluctuation in precipitation have impacted water resource allocation in the Mighan sub-basin. The research method is analytical based on Man...

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...

The study examines long-term changes and short-term fluctuations in ambient temperature of North East India during 1901-2003 located in part of the Eastern Himalayan region of the Brahmaputra Basin. Long-term linear trends were examined with the Mann-Kendal rank statistic and moving average method while the short-term fluctuations were studied by applying Cramer’s test. The results showed signi...

Hydrologic regime is highly dependent on climate change, as hydrologic cycle components are directly influenced by climatic conditions. This paper analyzes the impacts of climate change on the hydrologic regime of the Atrak River basin in the northeast of Iran. It drains to the Caspian Sea. The data collected at 11 hydrometeorological stations were examined to detect trends in hydroclimatologic...
