3 IRAN STATISTICAL YEARBOOK LAND AND CLIMATE Introduction he statistical information appeared in this chapter is presented in three sections: Geographical characteristics and administrative divisions, Climate, and Environment. 1.Geographical characteristics and administrative divisions Iran comprises a land area of over 1.6 million square kilometers. It lies down the northern temperate zone, between latitudes 25º 00' and 39º 47' north, and longitudes 44º 02' and 63º 20' east. The land s average height is over 1200 meters. The lowest place, located in Chaleh-ye- Loot, is only 56 meters high, while the highest point, Damavand peak in Alborz Mountains, rises as high as 5610 meters. The land height at the southern coastal strip of the Caspian Sea is 28 meters lower than the open seas. Iran is bounded by Turkmenistan, Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, and Armenia to the north, Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east, Oman Sea and Persian Gulf to the south, and Iraq and Turkey to the west. Administratively, the country is divided into Ostans, Ostans into Shahrestans, and Shahrestans into cities and Dehestans. Highlands of Iran can be divided into four mountain ranges: northern, western, southern and central and eastern ranges. The northern mountain ranges have extended from Ararat Mountain in Turkey to Hindu Kush Mountain in Afghanistan, including Alamdar, Sahand, Sabalan, Talesh, Qaflan Kuh mountains in Azarbayejan, Albourz mountain ranges at the north of Tehran and south of Mazandaran and Gilan Ostans, Ala Dagh, Binalud, Hezar Masjed and Qarah Dagh in Khorasan Ostan on the east of Iran. The mountain ranges in the west, which have extended from Ararat Mountain to the north west and the south east of the country, cover Sari Dash, Chehel Cheshmeh, Panjeh Ali, Alvand, Bakhtiyari mountains, Pish Kuh, Posht Kuh, Oshtoran Kuh and Zard Kuh and form Zagros ranges. The highest peak of this range is Dena with a 4409 m height. Southern mountain range stretches from Khouzestan province to Sistan & Baluchestan province and joins Soleyman Mountains in Pakistan. The mountain range includes Sepidar, Meymand, Bashagard and Bam Posht mountains. Central and eastern mountains mainly comprise Karkas, Shir Kuh, Kuh Banan, Jebal Barez, Hezar, Bazman and Taftan mountains, the highest of which is Hezar Mountain with a 4465 m height. The largest Iranian islands that are mainly located at Persian Gulf and Hormuz Strait, are: Qeshm, Kish, Lavan, Larak Shahri, Hormuz, Hengam Jadid (new Hengam), Kabudan, Ashk (Orumiyeh Lake), Faroor Bozorg (Great Faroor), Hendurabi, Khark, Minou, Siri, Khan, Abu Mosa, Espir (Orumiyeh Lake), Tonb Bozorg (Great Tonb), Morghi, Kharku, Arezoo, (Orumiyeh Lake), Faroor Kuchak( Small Faroor) and Tunb Kuchak ( Small Tonb). The Caspian Sea (the world s largest lake) lies on the north of Iran and connects Iran to European countries through Russian water ways. The water of the most Iranian lakes is salty. The major internal lakes are: Orumiyeh, Namak, Hamoun Jazmourian, Hamoun-e-Saberi, 49

Caspian climate, which is a narrow strip with a limited extension, trapped between the Caspian Sea and Alborz mountains range with as much as 600 to 2000 mm precipitation per annum. desert, Indian Ocean, Asian internal highlands Measurement of climatic characteristics, and large cold areas, Iran enjoys a very variable climate. The effect of distance from the sea, namely closeness and remoteness from sea, can be easily perceived by comparing the large amount of rainfall and rich vegetation and highly populated areas around the Caspian Sea to the uninhabited arid deserts in the centre of Iran. The continuation of the mountain ranges, their location opposite or parallel to the winds direction and air flows are among the factors which always affect climate change. There is a significant difference among mountain slopes facing or backing onto humid winds in terms of rainfall amount and vegetation. The country generally features three climatic which dates back to 1320, is currently performed by the National Meteorological Organization at its numerous synoptic stations scattered around the country. The data in this chapter, however, are only from those located in Ostan (provincial) centers. They include temperature, precipitation, and relative humidity, the number of frosty days, hours of bright sunshine and speed of wind. Notes: 1. Some capitals of Ostans have several synoptic stations and the data appeared here are from those located at the airports of Ostan's capitals. 2. Central basins, Hamun and Sarakhs, were renamed Central Plateau, Eastern Border and Qareh Qum respectively in zones: 1. Arid and semi-arid climate of the interior and far south characterized by long, warm and dry periods, lasting some years over 7 months. The annual precipitation in such regions varies between 30 to 250 mm. 3. Environment Statistics for types of natural resources, natural monuments protected by Iran Department of Environment have been reflected in the Iranian statistical yearbook since Mountainous climate, which are Definitions and concepts sub-divided into cold and moderate Shahrestan (subprovince): an administrative mountainous climate Cold mountainous climate: about sq km of the total country consists of major division with a certain geographical boundary, formed from joining of a few neighboring Bakhshes(county) which enjoy homogeneous highlands, including Alborz and Zagross natural, social, economic, political and cultural mountain ranges, as well as Sahand and Sabalan high peaks. The annual precipitation in these conditions. Bakhsh (county): an administrative division 50

5 IRAN STATISTICAL YEARBOOK 1389 with a specific geographical boundary, including a number of neighboring Dehestans and their adjacent fields, places, Roostas (hamlets), and possibly Shahrs, which are similar in natural, social, cultural, economic and political aspects. Shahr (city/town): an area with a legal boundary, located within the geographical boundary of a certain Bakhsh and in terms of constructional context, employment and other factors, having the distinctive features of a city. Dehestan (rural agglomeration): the smallest unit among administrative divisions with a specific geographical boundary, comprised of a number of neighboring Roostas and their adjacent places and fields, homogeneous in environment, economic and social conditions that allow for providing public services and planning within a single system and network. Synoptic stations (simultaneous meteorological reporting stations): the stations at which various climatic features including dry and humid temperatures, amount and type of cloud, amount of precipitation, type of climatic phenomenon, direction and speed of wind, amount of evaporation, air pressure, hours of bright sunshine, changes in pressure, amount of solar radiation, etc. are according to certain instructions at certain hours measured and by devices like SSB, telephone or telex communicated to meteorological centers across the globe after being registered. Absolute minimum: the lowest temperature during a certain period (24 hours, one month, one year, or a few years). Absolute maximum: the highest temperature during a certain period (24 hours, one month, one year, or a few years). Relative humidity: the amount of humid air in a volume unit of air. 1. LAND AND CLIMATE Average height of precipitation: the average height of precipitation is the weighted mean of an area. By dividing the area into several polygons and considering the precipitation in each polygon, the average height of precipitation is calculated. Water basin: is a geographical area in which overland flows from, and drains downhill into a body of water, such as ocean, sea, or flat. If the concentration point is located inside the basin, the basin is a closed one (e.g. Orumiyeh Lake), but if the point is located at the end of the basin, so that the flow can leave there, then there is an open basin. Every given point in a river is considered the concentration point for the basin just above it. Aquatic year: from the first day of Mehr to the end of Shahrivar of the next year. Coefficient of overland flow: the ratio of the volume of water flowed in a given hydrometric station to the volume of the precipitation of the basin stretching to the station. Hydrometric stations: stations in which parameters of debit (discharge), sediment, temperature, physical properties of water and features of ice cover and chemical properties of rivers, lake and dams reservoir are observed and measured. Volume of overland flow: To estimate the volume of overland flow of each of the country s main basins, a total of 42 rivers have been selected to indicate and represent the overland flow, whose annual total volume of overland flow exceeds 60 percent of the country s grand total. To reach the volume of any individual flow, a proper coefficient is applied to the total volume. National parks: an area of the nation's natural resources such as jungles, pastures, natural coppices, woodlands, plains, water and mountainous regions 51

Wildlife habitats: an area of the nation's natural resources such as jungles, pastures, natural coppices, woodlands, plains, water and mountainous regions which has typical natural habitats and special ecological conditions for wildlife and is protected in order to preserve or rehabilitate these protected habitats. Nature reserves: protected areas of the country s nature, including jungles, pastures, plains, or mountainous regions which are habitat for important minimum goes to Ardebil with O C. Also in the said year, the highest annual precipitation of the country belongs to Rasht and Sari which amounted to and mm respectively and Yazd and Qum with 35.9 and 86.9 mm respectively had the lowest annual precipitation amongst all Ostans centers. The maximum frosty days belong to Shahr-e- Kord with 146 days and Orumiyeh with 128 days. Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and Ahvaz have not experienced any frosty day. The volume of precipitation in national main basins or rare species of wildlife and/or plantation. during the aquatic year of was National natural heritages: specific and rare species of plants or animal and unique picturesque settings or views, specific natural forms of the earth as well as very old trees which are protected in an appropriate limit. Selected information The total length of the I.R. Iran s borderlines is 8865 kilometers out of which the longest borderline is for that of Iran-Iraq and the shortest one goes to Iran- Armenia which equals 1609 and 48 kilometers respectively. In 1389, Sistan & Baluchestan, Kerman, Yazd, Fars, approximately 390 bln m 3 out of which the share of each basin is as follows: the Caspian Sea 78.2bln m 3, the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea 151.6bln m 3, the Lake Orumiyeh 20.0 bln m 3, Central Plateau bln m 3, Eastern Border 10.3 bln m 3 & Qareh Qum 9.0 bln m 3. It is also noteworthy that the ratio of the area of main water basins to the total country area is as follows: the Caspian Sea 11%, the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea 26%, Lake Orumiyeh 3%, Central Plateau 51%, Eastern Border 6 % & Qareh Qum 3%. % & Qareh Qum 3%. Khorasan-e- Razavi and Esfahan were among the largest provinces in the country respectively, and each of them has an area of more than Km 2. Tehran as the capital city of Iran with an area of Km 2 ranks as the nation's 24th largest province. In 1389, I.R.Iran was divided into 31 Ostans (provinces), 397 Shahrestans (sub-provinces), 982 Bakhshes (counties),1144 Shahrs (cities) and 2496 Dehestans (rural agglomerations). 52
