Abstract:   (4534 Views)

One of the natural disasters that each year around the world provides a great human and financial losses are caused by Thunderstorms and related its phenomena. To investigate the spatial distribution of thunderstorms 16 Stations North West meteorological data with common statistical 22-year period (2009-1988) was taken from the National Weather Service. Then the codes of thunderstorms (17, 29 and 91 to 99) was extracted. Since the identification of phenomena detected a significant role in its behavior over time and space. Therefore, to study the spatial pattern of thunderstorms and analysis of spatial autocorrelation, Anselin Local Moran's Index was used. The results showed that the maximum area of ​​thunderstorms is adapted to highland areas. While the peak time of thunderstorms in May and June has occurred. The results of partial correlation and linear regression showed that the geographic factors such as altitude, latitude and longitude the influence of height is more powerful than the two other factors.
