Correlations Between Total Ozone Column and Some Metrological Elements in different regions in Iraq

Abstract

Abstract Aluminium, The aim of this paper, is to find a correlation between Total Ozone Column[ TOC] and different meteorological elements [Ta, Rs, RH, WS ] at five stations well distributed in Iraq [Mosul, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Nasiriya, and Basra] using several Mathematical Models. Five Mathematical Models were used for that [Linear Models, Quadratic Models, Exponential Models, Logarithmic Models, and Power Models]. Several statistical tests [R, R2, MAE, and RMSE] were used to control these Models' validation and goodness. The quadratic model gave the highest R and R2 among the other models in all stations. The highest R and R2 means that there are a high significance Correlations between the measured Total Ozone Column (TOC) and the estimated (TOC) from the Models using [Ta, Rs, RH, WS] elements in all stations.
