Assessing the statistics and trends of atmospheric variables is the very basic step for the climate change risk management.
The numerical weather prediction models have displayed an increasing credibility for achieving sound simulations of
the interactions between the atmosphere and the earth surface. Those models have been used together with the assimilation
procedure which combines the model forecasts with all available observations including conventional and satellite information
to generate gridded reanalysis datasets. Atmospheric reanalysis datasets are commonly used and are reliable sources for analyzing
the long-term variations of atmospheric variables because of their uniform global coverage and long-term availabilities. This
study is also developed by using one of those widely referred atmospheric reanalysis datasets, i.e. European Center for Medium-
Range Weather Forecast ERA-interim. Era-Interim data has 0.75° horizontal grid spacing, 28 vertical levels, consisting of 1
surface level and 27 pressure levels from 1000 hPa to 100 hPa and available with 6 hours interval (00 UTC, 06 UTC, 12 UTC,
18 UTC). Parameters such as 2-meter temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, sea surface temperature,
total column water vapor and total precipitation are analyzed for the 38-year period of 1979-2017.
