The uplift mechanisms associated with 24-hour precipitation receipts of 0.1 mm or greater in Iran were investigated. Based on a subjective analysis of daily surface and 500 mb weather charts, we systematically attributed all precipitation at 40 stations for the period 1965–69 to upper tropospheric mechanisms, surface disturbances, marine influence, or instability due primarily to surface heating. These mechanisms together explained 84 percent of all precipitation days. Upper-level disturbances alone explained over 50 percent; when combined with recognizable surface disturbances, this uplift mechanism collectively accounted for over 70 percent of all precipitation days. Surface disturbances were more frequent in the north, but upper-level disturbances alone attained greater relative importance in the south where precipitation was lower. Marine influence was important only near the Caspian Sea and surface heating was a minor trigger in summer only.
