الخصائص الحرارية لمنطقة الهضبة الغربية في العراق

Abstract EN

The research focuses on studying the temperature at western plateau area in Iraq (and its extent in Syria, Saudi-Arabia and Jordon).

Particularly, the research examines a topographic layer (500 – 1000)m over the Sea Level.

The current investigation includes studying of 10 Climatic stations for a period of 30 years (from 1973 to 2003).

The period from 1973 to 1996 is excluded for the Jabal-Tenif station.

The results revealed that the average of maximum and minimum temperature, the average of seasons and the annual average increase from west or north west to south or south east directions.

This is because that this area is affected by Mediterranean Sea.

Furthermore, the daily and annual temperature ranges were high at all stations examined.

In addition, there were a big temperature range differences from one station to another.

Generally, this temperature range increases from south to north direction, the temperature in the study area is lower than the surrounding area, and the continentality was high for the area studied The research focuses on studying the temperature at western plateau area in Iraq (and its extent in Syria, Saudi-Arabia and Jordon).
