Changes in the Duration of Low-Pressure Systems Over Iraq

Abstract

This study concludes that Iraq's climate has been significantly impacted by climate change, with all its climatic elements undergoing alterations. There has been an increase in both minimum and maximum temperature averages, along with a decrease in relative humidity levels across most of the study stations. The results indicate an increased dominance of low-pressure systems and their associated centers, attributed to the rise in temperature averages and the reduction in relative humidity in most of the study stations. Conversely, the reduced control of these low-pressure systems has contributed to further increases in temperature averages and a continued decrease in relative humidity.
