North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is one of large-scale signal that affects the north hemisphere. Various studies have investigated the correlations between Iran’s precipitations and North Atlantic Oscillation from monthly to yearly scales. This study has considered weekly time scale. The daily precipitation variable was obtained from the ERA-Interim database (grid) and its compliance with ground reference points (synoptic) were investigated (1979-2016). The results showed that the amount of annual precipitation in regions with more humidity, especially in the Caspian region, is underestimated. Also, the correlation between grid and synoptic precipitation data in the western, northeastern and southeastern area of the country is the highest and in the strip parallel to the western-eastern line (the middle areas) is the lowest (weekly average). This correlation decreases from winter to autumn and spring, respectively. A review of the time series of the sever events of NAO during the year with the weekly scale showed that this signal had two peaks, which was used to select the time period of assessing the relationship between precipitation in Iran and NAO. The results showed that the correlation between grid precipitation and NAO is not completely direct and relative frequency of direct correlation is more than non-direct type and decreases from north to south.

Aerosol impact on people health, social and economic activities, land and water ecosystems and meteorological parameter. The GOCART scheme was evaluated for simulating PM10 in this study. GOCART was run into WRF model as a host model. Reanalysis data from FNL for every 6 hour was used for initial conditions. One domain and two nests were used to cover region from West Africa till East Asia, Iran and Khuzestan Province. Primary results shown that the model overestimate surface moisture and the results was weak for simulating PM10 ,so we modified surface moisture using welting point of soil texture in desert region for summer. In addition, erodibility index was defined using surface moisture and threshold wind velocity and coefficient of this index modified using Tir and Day PM10 data at 1387. Results of modified model were compared with observed data in environmental station in Ahwaz for one week from 25, 3,1388 till 31,3,1388. Statistical analyses shown that, GOCART has a good capability for simulating PM10.
