STUDY OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN INTERNATIONAL ANZALI WETLAND (Pages : 5 - 10)

Climate change is one of the modern problems for human beings. It is a disaster for the earth. Anzali wetland is located in south-west of Caspian Sea and regarded as the most important wetland in Iran. The trend of temperature and precipitation change in the annual and monthly scale in the Anzali wetland has been investigated. For measuring temperature and rain changes, 55 years (1951-2005) of Anzali station weather data has been used. This research has used Mann-Kendal non-parametric test and showed that in Anzali station, maximum temperature had a negative trend, minimum and average temperatures had positive trends and precipitation had no trends. Also, time and type of changes in temperature parameters imply sudden changes. The sudden increase in minimum temperature and decrease in maximum temperature were observed. Also, minimum temperature shows more intense changes compared to other two temperature parameters. Generally, it can be concluded that climate change of the region is more adapted with temperature changes compared to precipitation changes. Download
