Climatic Classification for Hormozgan Province Based on Litynski Method

Traditional climate classification methods are very diverse. Despite their historical and comparative importance, these methods have weaknesses that reduce their efficiency. Implementing sustainable developments in disadvantaged areas in need requires precise planning based on talents and resource constraints. The climate of each region is one of the most important determinants of local development potentials. The purpose of this research is to determine the climate of Hormozgan province based on the Litynski method which is described in this paper. In the Liyinski system, three primary elements of temperature, precipitation and barry coefficient are used. This method utilizes auxiliary indicators for categorical comprehensiveness, which includes three indicators of the coincidence, a dry season and the state of sunlight. Required data were collected from seven weather stations of Hormozgan province including Haji Abad, Minab, Bandarlenge, Qeshm, Rudan, Jask and Bandar Abbas during the years 2002-2017 and used in Excel and SPSS environment. Finally, the climate of stations was estimated using five indicators. The results showed that the two stations of Bandar Abbas and Qeshm are more similar in terms of climate. Rudan has a warm tropical climate based on temperature division. Jask also has the most dry months. Regarding the compliance index of all stations, the main precipitation is in the cold season. In terms of the radiation status index, the same results were obtained for all stations.
