EVALUATION OF THE ACCURACY OF THE MAP MODEL ACCORDING TO THE AREA OF SOME ELEMENTS OF THE CLIMATE USING SPATIAL INTERPOLATION METHODS (NORTHERN IRAQ AS A MODEL)

Abstract

This study focuses on testing the accuracy of the model using the methods of interpolating the areas for heat and rain. This happens by finding the areas to find out which methods are more accurate through the interpolation process for the spatial prediction of the areas. This is followed by a statistical regression for them to find out which methods are stronger in terms of linking to the main area from which are merged into one layer through the Map algebra within the grid calculator (raster calculator) in the spatial analyst tools.Spatial interpolation methods are one of the methods adopted by geographers in solving many problems related to the study of natural phenomena. It studies phenomena such as elements of climate, as these methods give possibilities for values that cannot be reached or can be covered by ground stations(Earls & Dixon, 2007).All tables and figures are made by the researcher by the use of GIS.10.6.
