The future patterns of rainfall and temperature can lead to better hydrological predictions. Hence, according to their importance, we try to derive the future rain and temperature patterns of the Gharehsoo River’s watershed. This watershed has been placed in the northwest of Iran in Ardebil province and it has high amount of agriculture productions. Interpolation schemes are utilized in this study to determine the rain and temperature patterns. The utilized software package is ArcGIS software. These interpolation techniques are included of Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Global polynomial, Local polynomial, Radial Basis Functions (RBF), ordinary Kriging and simple Kriging. Firstly, we gather the monthly temperature and precipitation data of 10 synoptic stations in 2004. Then, the interpolation schemes are evaluated in order to determine the best temperature and precipitation patterns. The evaluation criteria in this study were Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Error (ME). The results of evaluation of different interpolation schemes demonstrated that IDW and RBF method are the best schemes for the spatial modeling of temperature and precipitation patterns, respectively. Using these patterns, it is straightforward to predict runoff using hydrological models. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed for the prediction of temperature and precipitation patterns for future (2100). To predict temperature and precipitation pattern, it is necessary to utilize of a predictor  model  to predict the amount of precipitation and temperature. Then the amount of precipitation and temperature are converted to spatial pattern of precipitation and temperature using the developed algorithm in this study. PRECIS model that is a regional climate model was utilized as predictor model in this study.   Materials and methods: a) case study: The studied area (Gharehsoo river watershed) is located in the Northwest of Iran, between longitudes coordinates 47°45’ and 48°42’ E, and between latitude coordinates 37°46’ and 38°34’ N. The Gharehsoo river watershed area is approximately 4100 km2 and plays significant agricultural role in Iran. the mountainous areas have been located in the western and southeastern parts of watershed. Furthermore, there are many pasture and agriculture lands in this watershed. Watershed elevation varies from 1170 m in Gharehsoo river outflow to 4732 m in Sabalan mountainous. The precipitation in the watershed is highly related to the topography and wind in the watershed.. The sea fronts and orographic conditions are the main factors for precipitation in the western and eastern parts of watershed. In the winter, the cold front of Mediterranean Sea, coupled with the local effects of Sabalan Mountains lead to orographic rainfalls. In summer, weather conditions are predominant of Caspian Sea front is the major factor for precipitation in the eastern part of catchment. Autumn and spring rainfalls are the results of interaction between African-Mediterranean and Caspian Sea fronts. b) Data: Temperature and precipitation data are two basic climatologically variables, measured at meteorological stations. Monthly precipitation (mm) and temperature data for 2004 was provided through Iran Meteorological Organization. The number of stations in the watershed and near to watershed was 11 stations. c) PRECIS Model PRECIS (Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies) is a regional modeling system that can be run over any area of the globe on a relatively inexpensive, fast PC to provide regional climate information for impacts studies. The idea of constructing a flexible regional modeling system originated from the growing demand of many countries for regional-scale climate projections. Only a few modeling centers in the world have been developed RCMs (Regional Climate Models) and utilize them to generate projections over specific areas, because it needs high amount of computational effort and time. The Hadley Centre has configured the third-generation of Hadley Centre RCM, named PRECIS that is easy to set up. The past (1961-1990) and future climate SRES B2 scenario (2071-2100) were simulated by PRECIS model at a spatial resolution of 50×50 km for Iran.   Results and discussion: It’s necessary to have a series of precipitation and temperature patterns to produce monthly patterns for future. These series of maps are generated using the precipitation and temperature patterns of 2004. The hyetograph maps are calculated by the ration of total volume of precipitation in January and the area of watershed. The calculated total volume of precipitation in January using the precipitation pattern map was about 490 million m3. The ration of volume and the area of watershed was about 0.117 m. This number shows the average precipitation of January. Similarly, these operations can be performed for the other months of 2004. The unit hyetograph and thermograph maps are generated by dividing the precipitation and temperature patterns in 2004 to their corresponding monthly precipitation and temperature values. The precipitation and temperature data were extracted from the PRECIS model for 2100. The monthly temperature data of 2100 shows an increase of temperature about 2 to 5 degrees in future, but there is no specific trend in precipitation data. If the amount of the monthly temperature and precipitation of 2100 are divided by these amounts in 2004, the amount of B parameters are calculated for precipitation and temperature in different months. Finally, the precipitation and temperature patterns will be obtained by the product value of B parameters and unit hyetograph or thermograph maps in each month, respectively.   Conclusion: A new method was developed for reasonable prediction of spatial patterns of precipitation and temperature. This new method uses of the results of a Regional Climate Model (e.g. PRECIS model) coupled with the appropriate spatial modeling techniques (interpolation techniques). The derived precipitation and temperature patterns in 2100 in Gharehsoo River watershed show a reasonable similarity with the topography and the climate of the region, Hence This method can be introduced as an appropriate method for the hydrological forecasts and water resource management.        }, keywords = {prediction,spatial distribution of precipitation,spatial distribution of temperature,Gharesoo river watershed,PRECIS,interpolation techniques}, title_fa = {روشی جدید جهت پیش‌بینی پراکنش مکانی دما و بارش در حوضه آبریز رودخانه قره‌سو (اردبیل)}, abstract_fa = {استفاده از پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش و دما نقش مهمی در افزایش دقت خروجی مد‌ل‌های هیدرولوژیکی دارند. هدف از این مقاله تهیه پراکنش‌های مکانی دما و بارش در آینده در حوضه آبریز رودخانه قره‌سو است. حوضه آبریز مورد مطالعه در شمال غرب کشور و در استان اردبیل قرار دارد. این حوضه آبریز از نظر تولید محصولات کشاورزی در ایران دارای اهمیت بسیار است. در تهیه پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش و دما از روش‌های درونیابی شامل روش‌های وزنی عکس فاصله، توابع پایه شعاعی(RBF)، مکانی چند جمله‌ای و کریجینگ از نرم‌افزار ArcGIS استفاده شده است. بدین منظور ابتدا داده‌های ماهانه بارندگی و دما در حوضه آبریز رودخانه قره‌سو با استفاده از 10 ایستگاه هواشناسی در سال 2004 تهیه شد، سپس به منظور انتخاب روش مناسب برای تهیه پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش و دمای حوضه آبریز کارایی روش‌های زمین آمار مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. با محاسبه شاخص‌های میانگین خطا و ریشه میانگین مربعات خطا و مقایسه، روش وزنی عکس فاصله مناسب‌ترین روش برای تهیه پراکنش مکانی دما و روش RBF برای تهیه پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش در این حوضه شناخته شده است. در صورتیکه با کمک روشی بتوان پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش و دما در آینده را تهیه کرد، می‌توان پیش‌بینی‌های دبی را با استفاده از مدل‌های هیدرولوژیکی انجام داد. در این مقاله الگوریتم روشی بیان شده که می‌توان به کمک آن پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش و دما در آینده را تهیه کرد. برای پیش‌بینی پراکنش‌های مکانی دما و بارش در آینده نیاز به یک مدل پیش‌بینی‌کننده متغیرهای آب و هوایی است که در این مقاله از داده‌های مدل اقلیمی منطقه‌ای PRECIS استفاده شده است. خروجی داده‌های مدل PRECIS با قدرت تفکیک 50×50 کیلومتر بر اساس سناریوی B2 از سری سناریوی SERS و برای سال‌های 2071 تا 2100 است. نتایج پراکنش‌های مکانی دما در حوضه نشان می‌دهد که دما در تمامی حوضه آبریز رودخانه قره‌سو نسبت به دوره پایه بین 2 تا 5 درجه سانتیگراد افزایش می‌یابد و همچنین نتایج پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش در حوضه به دلیل افزایش و کاهش در ماه‌های مختلف سال روند خاصی را تسبت به دوره پایه نشان نمی‌دهد.    }, keywords_fa = {پیش‌بینی پراکنش‌های مکانی بارش و دما,حوضه آبریز رودخانه قره‌سو,مدل PRECIS,روش‌های درون‌یابی}, url = {https://clima.irimo.ir/article_14123.html}, eprint = {https://clima.irimo.ir/article_14123_d829015d5760602cf54af58e51038936.pdf} }
