Abstract
Sensible heat flux and latent heat flux are among the variables that are closely related to temperature and humidity and show heat transfer on a surface. So, their changes can be considered related to changes in temperature and humidity. In this regard, the current research aims to analyze and reveal the climatic changes of Iran by examining the course of changes in sensible heat flux and latent heat and the ratio between the two. For this purpose, NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data including sensible and latent heat flux during the period 1948-2020 was used in Iran. Bowen coefficient was calculated from the ratio of these two heat fluxes. Interpolation methods were used for their spatio-temporal analysis. In addition, by using the non-parametric methods of Mann-Kendall and Shibsen, spatial and temporal changes were also investigated. The first part of the results showed that, spatially, the Bowen coefficient is a function of latitude and roughness. And in terms of time, the lowest value corresponds to the month of January and the highest value corresponds to the month of July. The results of the second part show that the Bowen coefficient has a positive trend over time. Its upward trend indicates an increase in the dryness coefficient of the country. So that this situation can be seen in the positive trend and increase in temperature.
Keywords: climate change, Bowen coefficient, global warming, spatio-temporal analysis.
