The center of heritage revival organizes workshop(Prediction of rain and drought among the Arab)
Under supervision by prof. Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim (the director of the center) , the center of heritage revival organizes workshop entitled(Prediction of rain and drought among the Arab)on Tuesday 26th/12/2024 with presence of many researchers and professors . the research is presented by prof. Dr. Salar Ali Khudhair (the chief of humanity sciences department) who talks about the ways that Arabs uses to predict rain and dryness It became clear that they have many methods in this field, most of which focused on short-range weather forecasting, which consisted of observing stars and planets, sky colors, bird species, cloud characteristics, winds, and atmospheric humidity for the summer and fall months. In order to verify some of these methods, climate data on relative humidity (monthly and annual) were used for four months (June-July-August-September), and statistically linked (Pearson correlation equation) with rainy season rainfall. The results showed that the statistical relationship is weak and insignificant between the two variables. However, in general, the northern stations (Mosul-Kirkuk-Khanaqin) recorded inverse relationships. While most of the southern and central stations (where the dry desert and semi-arid climate is prevalent) showed direct correlations, meaning that the increase in summer humidity indicates the possibility of an increase in rain (autumn, winter and spring).
