(( Geographical Analysis for The Location of Meteorological station in Iraq ))

Abstract

Search deals with distribution of meteorological station in Iraq in terms of geographical site ,location and graticule position and how its agree or disagree with scientific uniform distribution that meeting (WMO) standard measurement and explain its quality climatological data ,information, general covered area and detailed for each station ,then make comparison between actual distribution and global standard theoretical and practical one that focus on meridians and parallels intersection points by (0.5 X 0.5),(1 X 1) method . The search concluded that there are wide variation between past tow distributions (actual and theoretical) which covered area decreased and distribution in three regional study area was limited and random in the first one while the second contain (specially at 0.5X 0.5 method) systematically all study area regions with little difference of station covered area depended on method considered. Other search conclusions refereed that the last distribution is the best and more contented with support of uniform redistribution ability for actual station specially at (alluvial plain and western pleatue) while more detailed one (0.2 X 0.2) can be optimum theoretically but difficult in practical processing in terms of ( cost ,time and work) if not be impossible .
