Abstract

We are interested in rainfall events evaluation by applying adaptive neural-fuzzy inference System. Four parameters: Temperature, relative humidity, total cloud cover and due point are the input variables for our model, each has 121 membership functions. The data is six years METAR data for Mashhad city [2007-2012]. Different models for Mashhad city stations were constructed depending on the available data sets. Among the overall 25 possibilities one model with one hundred twenty one fuzzy IF-THEN rules has chosen. The output variable is 0 (no rainfall event) or 1 (rainfall event). With comparing trained data with actual data, we could evaluate rainfall events about 90.5 percent. The results are in high agreement with the recorded data for the station with increasing in values towards the real time rain events. All implementation are done with MATLAB.
