Abstract:

Rainfall in Iraq is categorized by unorganized dissemination of both spatial and temporal. The annual, seasonal and monthly mean rainfall contrastsconsider with years. The documented rainfall quantity in the different atmospheric stations varies from location to another conferring to sea surface elevation and the geographical position of meteorological stations. Dissimilarity of rainfall with space and time were studied in Iraq for the period (1980-2010) using 22 meteorological stations. Mean monthly, seasonally and annually values of rainfall were found in dissimilar meteorological stations. Winter months characterize about (42-56) % of total annual rainfall. The annual unpredictability of rainfall in all these stations is high. Isohyet method was used to estimate the mean monthly values of rainfall in Iraq. Simple and Various Regression Equations were found in Mosul, Baghdad and Basrah stations between rainfall and dissimilar meteorological fundamentals.
