Abstract
In this study, the heavy rainfall of Northwest of Iranhas been analyzed using environmental circulation approach. Isohyte maps were depicted using Kriging method on 14*14 km pixels from 21/3/1961 up to 31/12/2004 (a17508× 533 matrix). Based on these interpolated data we selected super heavy rainfalls ...

In this study, the heavy rainfall of Northwest of Iranhas been analyzed using environmental circulation approach. Isohyte maps were depicted using Kriging method on 14*14 km pixels from 21/3/1961 up to 31/12/2004 (a17508× 533 matrix). Based on these interpolated data we selected super heavy rainfalls for all in Northwest of Iran as a whole. Heavy rainfall and their locations have been detected from 00 to 1200 E and 00 to 800 N in the five this levels (1000, 925, 850, 700, 600 and 500 hPa level) at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 UTC. The results of this study showed that four thickness circulation patterns play role in producing these super heavy rainfalls. In analysis of these precipitations one representative day was introduced for every circulation pattern. The analysis showed that the circulation patterns 2 justify the most of precipitations. These findings can play an important role in forecasting the precipitation and preventing from flooding in the region.

In order to identify synoptic super heavy rain patterns (precipitation exceeding 50 millimeters a day) in Azerbaijan region, the daily precipitation data of 23 rain gauges were studied by six-hour precipitation synopsis from 1963 to 2005. The data were analyzed through hierarchical clustering analysis, specifically Ward cluster analysis in GRADS, MATLAB, and SURFFER softwares to identify the relationship between the higher-atmosphere circulation patterns and super heavy rain events in the studied region. Results demonstrated three different active circulation patterns in the region, for each pattern a single representative day was introduced for super heavy rain events's analysis. The spatial alignment of the precipitation pattern points out a relationship between the temporal distributions of super heavy rain events in region with the latitude. Significant relationships are existent between EastBlack Sea-NorthMediteranehSea, and Black Sea trough pattern and super heavy rain events in the studied region. The results play an important role in the prediction of heavy rain events in the region.
