Tracing and assessment of simultaneous dust storms in the cities of Ahvaz and Kermanshah in western Iran based on the new approach
Tóm tắt
One of the most important and relatively new natural disaster compared
with others is the dust-storm phenomenon in today’s world, which has been
aggravated by rising drought and global warming. Studies on the phenomenon of dust
have different aspects and characteristics. To study this phenomenon, the use of
meteorological models such as HYSPLIT, as well as
satellite images with high temporal resolution and storm detection in terms of
intensity, etc., is necessary. In this research, modeling in HYSPLIT system with
back trajectory analysis was performed at three levels of altitude to determine the
direction of motion of suspended particles in the atmosphere and its source in the
interval 48 h prior to the occurrence of two simultaneous dust storm phenomena in destinations of Ahwaz and Kermanshah
with a new approach. The dust detection was done by analyzing MODIS images using the
iTIIDI (Improved Thermal Infrared Integrated Dust Index) method along with bands
different method to remove cloudy pixels by determination of an appropriate
threshold in digital numbers. The comparison of the transmission trajectories of
dust yielded by HYSPLIT model for two destinations and false color composite of
detected dust in MODIS images demonstrated the same sources for the dust phenomenon
at the time of the study. Subsequently, the hydrological parameters of the
identified region as the source were also evaluated; all of these, reflected the
region's ability to produce suspended particles. Generally, the primary sources of
dust on the two cities of Ahvaz and Kermanshah were desert parts of the northern of
Iraq, a region between latitudes 33.80° N to 35.85° N and longitudes
42.00° E to 44.76° E in Tigris and Euphrates alluvial plain.
