Abstract

Due to the complexity of hydrological processes it seems that the multivariate models with more parameters can be used to improve the accuracy and results of the time series models. Indeed, with the involving other effective parameters in the multivariate models the results of description, modeling and forecasting of various parameters can be improved. In this research, the univariate ARMA models and multivariate contemporaneous autoregressive moving average (CARMA) models were evaluated to modeling the total annual precipitation of Urmia synoptic station. In order to use ARMA models total annual precipitation time series of Urmia station in the period of 1961-2010 was used. Furthermore, average of air temperature (°C), mean wind speed (Knot) and mean of precipitation time series in annual time scale of Urmia synoptic station were used in modeling by CARMA models. The results showed that by incorporation the mentioned time series, the accuracy of the models increased. As, for CARMA model in comparison with ARMA model, better results were obtained because of the higher correlation coefficient equal to 0.960 and lower root mean square error equal to 21.611 between the observed and modeled data. Also according to the obtained results, using the multivariate ARMA models caused to decrease model error up to 31 percentages.
