Analysis of Precipitation Variations of Haraz Watershed Using by Statistical Methods and Spectrum Analysis Technique

Identifying the precipitation behavior is the most important principles in environmental planning. Identification of the precipitation behavior in long term period aggrades the way to local and regional planning. This research aim to advance knowledge ahead flood management and process modeling using spectral analysis techniques based on Aphrodite database output over the period 1951 to 2007 in the catchment area located in the southern part of Mazandaran province. The results showed that the coefficient of variation of precipitation over the basin in the warm months of the year was more than cold period. Also, according to the disperse statistics in the catchment area; the largest clusters are created in winter season that represents the relative order of precipitation in the study area. Spectral analysis of precipitation data has revealed significantly sinusoidal cycles 2-3, 5-3, 5-11 and 11 and older. This cycle can be attributed to the impact of macro-scale Atmospheric-ocean. Trend line slope for annual precipitation was obtained 7.67 mm per decade. Exiting of These cycles can be related to the influence of large scale ocean-climate factors in the study area. Of increasing the role of mechanisms wetter, warmer and wetter wet latest in the basin has revealed. The important mechanism that can be considered for increasing trend accompanied by temperature increasing trend is wet-gets-wetter.
