Periodic climate zoning is an essential classification of land cover to account for
anthropogenic activities resulting from population increase and urbanization that affect key …

Due to global warming, precipitation concentration is expected to change, and extreme
weather events are likely to occur more frequently. This study investigates the …

Sand and dust storms (SDS) are common meteorological phenomena in arid and semi-arid
regions caused by natural or anthropogenic factors. Central Iran, covers a large area on the …

The present study assessed the accuracy of twenty-three available globally and regionally
gridded precipitation products over Iran. The datasets were classified into five different …

Hydrological modeling requires accurate climate data with high spatial resolution, what is
often unavailable in a large fraction of the world. As an alternative to scarce meteorological …

Iran's diverse climate and topography lead to variable precipitation distribution over different
time scales. This study examines daily rainfall distribution across 37 Iranian synoptic stations …

We propose an index to quantify and analyse the impact of climatological variability on the
energy system at different timescales. We define the climatological renewable energy …

Climate classification provides a framework for a better understanding of the dominant
weather patterns in different regions of the Earth. This study aims at identifying climate zones …

This research was carried out to determine whether the changes in precipitation and
temperature trend in Iran are attributed to climate change or natural climate variability. The …

Variations in frequency and intensity of extreme events have substantial impact on water
resources and environment, which in turn are reflected on agriculture, society, and economy …
