Hi guys.
After a long time. I decided to share some stuff with you. Actually I am working on paper about the precipitation of the Lake Urmia Basin (LUB). The early investigations on maximum, minimum etc. properties of the basin shows a strong non-homogeneity. Once comparing with previous literature, other research makers is underlining the strong variation in climate across the LUB. Relying on this studies my own investigations is in complete agreement with the previous researchs. I will share the results as soon as the main paper is published on the journal.
What is more, for people whom live in Urmia it is recognizable to see the reducing pattern of precipitation. what is more, for those who travel across the border of the Turkey and Iran specially in the winter and autumn it is surprising that mountains which are on the border of two country does not share the same hillside conditions. While Turkey side is full of snow and overflowing rivers the hillside which is associated inside the Iranian border does not have any snow cover at all. Considering this I decided to take a look at satellite imagery picture. Here is the result of a the investigation from LANDSAT 8 which was obtained from USGS earth explorer site (http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/).
These two images belongs to Feb 13. 2015 which indicates the role of mountains on prevention of entrancement of evaporation to the LUB. This subject is one of the pure subjects that is good for investigation but there is some limitations on investigations such phenomena (i.e. Political and International). What is more, in my new research I am studying the properties of rainfall in 53 meteorological stations which at least have 30 years of recorded data (There are stations with more than 40 year records) which the properties of them is exposed in Figure 1 bellow.
I hope you enjoyed the new details which I shared with you after such a long time. But I will try to write more posts.
