Abstract:

This volume, the third in a four-volume series, is a climatological study of the Near East Mountains an area that includes Turkey except for its Mediterranean and Aegean Sea coasts, Northern Iraq, Iran except for its Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea coasts, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. After describing the general geography of land areas in the Near East Mountains, it discusses major meteorological features of the entire study area. Each major subregion based on climatic commonality is then broken into its own geography and general weather sections. Finally, the four so-called seasons in each of these subregions are discussed in detail.
