Subject : Geostatistical study of annual and seasonal mean rainfall patterns in southwest Saudi Arabia 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : The spatial and temporal variability of rainfall is a major problem in its description and prediction. Saudi Arabia has an extremely dry climate, but in the southwest region comparatively more rainfall events occur within the effects of topography and seasonality. Sixty-three representative stations were selected for a 21- year period covering different micro-climate conditions. Geostatistical methods were used to reflect the regional and seasonal rainfall patterns throughout the southwest region. The results indicate that high variations in regional rainfall estimation occur in the mountainous areas, while the variance decreases in shadow areas in all seasons. The variation of the rainfall estimation accuracy decreases from winter to autumn.
