Abstract:   (15920 Views)
The aim of this paper is climatic classification of Khuzestan province. For this purpose, we first used eleven-variable relationships of humidity, temperature and precipitation in synoptic stations of the study area. Then we formed a matrix with the dimention of 13*11 applying Kriging method for convert matrix dimention (616*11) and also for principal component analysis and cluster analysis inputs. In this research the principal component analysis was used for understanding the component details and the cluster analysis was applied for the climatic classification. The results show that there are five climatic region and four components in Khuzestan province. Climatic variety conditions and regional settingsd indicate that this province is near the sea and dry regions of Iraq and Saudi Arabian countries that extensively expand toward the heights of Zagros Mountains.
Keywords: Climatic Regions, Principal Components Analysis, Cluster Analysis, Khuzestan Province.
