| Mathematical methods and statistical distributions present exact results in the climate calculations and hydrological processes. Awareness of the rainfall probability distribution provides the appropriate conditions for water resource planning. Many studies have been done to estimate probability of rainfall by various methods due to the importance of rainfall distribution in the economic, social and particularly agriculture studies. In these studies, the various probabilistic models have been used and the results of the most investigations show that the bivariate gamma distribution branches of gamma model are compatible for rainfall data. The bivariate gamma distribution is used in the hydrological processes modeling. In the present paper, supposing that the X and Y follow the crovelli’s bivariate gamma model, at first a brief description was given in the case of the exact distributions of the functions U=X+Y, P=XY and Q=X⁄((X+Y)) as well as their respective moments, then the validity of this model was evaluated for Rasht airport weather station data. The results showed that rainfall data of this region also confirms The suitability of the crovelli’s bivariate gamma model. |
