University of Tehran Journal of Environmental Studies 1025-8620 33 43 2007 11 22 - - 18807 FA Journal Article 1970 01 01 Application of statistical techniques in applied sciences, especially in climatology and meteorology, are widespread and a common practice. This paper deals with the application of modern techniques such as kriging, co-kriging, and inverse–distance weighted for prediction of rainfall in places where there are not gauging facilities. The available data from all stations throughout the country, since their establishment to 2004, have been used to find the variogram and cross-variogram. Based on the best possible model, rainfall map for the country has been prepared.
