التمثيل الخرائطي لتوزيع الامطار في الإقليم الجبلي من العراق

Abstract

Rain maps constitute one of the cartographic methods that show geographical phenomena that fluctuate and flow from one place to another. Maps representing wind states, storms, anticyclones, etc. are very important. To be able to predict the weather. Weather maps are nothing more than graphic representations that help us know the values ​​that some meteorological variables have a given geographic area. Of all the meteorologists, these maps make use of, as their use provides a lot of knowledge and an interesting picture about all the situations we can find in the atmosphere. Since the feature that is clearly evident in contemporary geographical research today is the use of modern technologies in applied geographical studies, especially in the field of weather and climate maps, which is a recent branch in geography. Geographical information systems (GIS) have been employed through the program (ArcMap10.8), which is one of the programs of this technology, which has the characteristics of spatial analysis and thematic mapping. Because the program has the tools for automatic mapping of linear, point and area symbols. The problem of the research is it possible to build maps of rainfall amounts based on the coordinate location of climatic stations showing the amounts and variations of rainfall for certain periods. The results were in the mapping of precipitation with a high potential for perception, in addition to the design of databases for climatic stations that can be updated.
