Discussion Reasons loss of Bamdzh wetland area with attention to the drought and the techniques of remote sensing
Bamdzh wetland of Khuzestan Province is at downstream of Shavvr River. Its area is approximately 4 hectares. Due to the loss of wetland area, especially in recent decades, this study investigated the effects of a five-year drought (2007-2012) in the Shavvr region and the pond ultimately. Also the comparison between the satellite images and remote sensing technique has been used and was estimat...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Spatial Pattern of Drought in Central and South Zagros Using Remote Sensing Indicators
Introduction: As a complex phenomenon occurring due to a long period of poor precipitation, drought causes water scarcity in the soil and the hydrological system via hydrological, bringing about long-term consequences which may lead to severe economic, environmental, and social problems worldwide. Droughts are classified into four types: meteorological (rainfall), agricultural (soil’s moisture)...
متن کاملEvaluation of remote sensing indicators in drought monitoring using machine learning algorithms (Case study: Marivan city)
Remote sensing indices are used to analyze the Spatio-temporal distribution of drought conditions and to identify the severity of drought. This study, using various drought indices generated from Madis and TRMM satellite data extracted from Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Drought conditions in Marivan city from February to November for the years 2001 to 2017 were analyzed based on spatial a...
متن کاملInvestigating Agricultural Drought Changes Using Remote Sensing and Meteorological Indicators: A Case study of North Khorasan Province
Introduction As a natural phenomenon that characterizes the climate system, drought exerts devastating effects on agricultural products, including reducing cultivation levels, decreasing crop yield, and changing cropping patterns, thus threatening the food security of humans and other creatures. Moreover, it brings about some social and environmental consequences such as threatening human heal...
متن کاملRemote sensing of drought: Progress, challengesand opportunities
This review surveys current and emerging drought monitoring approaches using satellite remote sensing observations from climatological and ecosystem perspectives. We argue that satellite observations not currently used for operational drought monitoring, such as near-surface air relative humidity data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder mission, provide opportunities to improve early drought ...
