چکیده

بارش­های فرین به‌ویژه در مناطق خشک و نیمه خشک به عنوان یک مخاطره جدی تلقی شده، خطر رخداد سیل را افزایش داده و زمان محدودی برای هشدار باقی می‌گذارند. این مطالعه با هدف درستی سنجی متغیر بارش و بارش­­های فرین  پایگاه AgERA5 و بررسی پراکنش فصلی بارش­های فرین­ در ایران انجام شده است. ابتدا، درستی داده­های بارش پایگاه AgERA5 با کاربست سنجه­های آماری NRMSE، MBE و PCC مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. بررسی خطاها نشان داد که داده AgERA5 بیشترین مقدار NRMSE را در اقلیم مرطوب سواحل شمالی و همچنین مناطق پرباران زاگرس و شمال­غربی دارد. در مقابل، این پایگاه، بارش را در مناطق خشک و نیمه خشک ایران با دقت بیشتری برآورد می­کند. برای بررسی بارش فرین فصلی، از سه شاخص شدت بارش روزانه (SDII)، بیشینه بارش یک­روزه (RX1day) و روزهای همراه با بارش سنگین (R10mm) استفاده شد. درستی سنجی شاخص­های فرین نشان داد که پایگاه AgERA5 در برآورد شاخص R10mm در بخش­های بزرگی از کشور کم­برآوردی دارد و در مقابل دو شاخص RX1day و SDII در بیش­تر مناطق­ ایران­ بیش­برآوردی دارند. همانند میانگین بارش، بیشینه خطا و اریبی بارش­­های فرین در سواحل خزری دیده می­شود. نتایج نشان داد که در حالیکه بیشینه RX1day به مقدار 5/80 میلی­متر در فصل زمستان اتفاق می­افتد، بیشینه SDII با 2/19 میلی­متر/روز در فصل تابستان مشاهده می­شود. این در حالی است که بیشینه تداوم R10mm در تمامی فصول در سواحل خزری مشاهده می­گردد. به­رغم آنکه سواحل خزری بیشینه روزهای همراه با بارش سنگین را در تمامی فصول دارد اما بیشینه تداوم شدت بارش در زاگرس مرتفع دیده می­شود. شدت بارش در تمامی مناطق ایران با ارتفاعات ارتباط مستقیم دارد. در این رابطه، سواحل جنوبی دریای خزر در تمام طول سال، از این قاعده مستثنی است.

چکیده [English]

Extreme precipitation is considered as a serious hazard, especially in arid and semi-arid regions as they increase the risk of flooding and leave limited time for warning. The aim of this study is to evaluate precipitation of the fifth-generation reanalysis (AgERA5) of the European Centre for Medium-RangeWeather Forecasts (ECMWF) and to investigate the seasonal distribution of extreme precipitation in Iran. In this study, the accuracy of AgERA5 precipitation is evaluated using NRMSE, MBE, and PCC statistics. The error analysis shows that AgERA5 has the highest NRMSE in the humid climate of the northern coasts as well as the rainy regions of Zagros and Northwest of Iran. In contrast, this dataset estimates precipitation in arid and semi-arid regions of Iran more accurately. Three indices, including SDII, RX1day, and R10mm, were used to examine seasonal precipitation. The evaluation of extreme indices shows that the AgERA5 dataset is underestimated R10mm in large parts of the country, and in contrast, the two indices RX1day and SDII are overestimated in most parts of Iran. Like the average precipitation, the maximum error and bias of extreme precipitation are seen on the Southern Caspian Sea coast. The results showed that the maximum one-day precipitation (RX1day) in Iran is 80.5 mm in winter. The maximum daily precipitation intensity (SDII) is observed in southeastern Iran, with 19.2 mm/day in summer. The Southern Caspian Sea coasts show the highest continuity of days with heavy precipitation in all seasons. Despite the fact that this region has the highest number of heavy precipitation days in all seasons, the maximum continuity of heavy precipitation is seen in the high Zagros mountains. Precipitation intensity in all regions of Iran is directly related to altitudes. In this regard, the southern coast of the Caspian Sea is an exception throughout the year.
