the aim of this study is to determine the area affected by dust storms in different wind speeds using satelliteimages. in the first step, windy conditions of the sistan plain were analyzed using wind statistics data. next, fivestormy days of zabol city, indicating different wind speeds and horizontal visibilities during those storms, wereselected. then, high temporal resolution modis data was u...

biological invasions form a major threat to the provision of ecosystems productsand services and can affect ecosystems across a wide spectrum of bioclimatic conditions.therefore, it is important to systematically monitor the spread of species over broad regions. ithas long been recognized that remote sensing and geographical information system couldcontribute to this capacity. this paper aims t...

the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessities creates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) ...

Without formulating physical contact with the object, Remote sensing is the achievement of information about an object or phenomenon. The contact of remote sensing (RS) images will turn into more complicated due to the vast data quantity, to defeat this challenges the users can admittance remote sensing images based on semantics. In the existing method, the Quintree is used for the decompositio...

In many applications of remote sensing data land-water masks play an important role. In this context they can be a helpful orientation to distinguish dark areas (e.g. cloud shadows, topographic shadows, burned areas, coniferous forests) and water areas. However, water bodies cannot always be classified exactly on basis of available remote sensing data. This fact can be caused by a variety of di...

urbanization and population growth along with an increase in the environmental pollution resulting from human activities which have dramatically changed the green space and land cover have been key factors in the sustainable development of land and the management of land use. to collect reliable data required for providing land cover maps as well as for investigating the environment, remote sen...

In order to effectively implement sharing and integrated application of agricultural remote monitoring data, which is of distributed areas, various types, different systems and a large amount of data, across different areas, departments and systems, new networked framework is needed to be introduced to promote sharing of resources. In this paper, based on grid, considering the current situation...

study of terrain including vegetation, water resources, land types including soil texture and classification are cases that require data with high precision. accurate and high quality data can lead us to a better, more accurate results.in this context, remote sensing data is a great tool for the detection and identification of patterns. sebal (surface energy balance algorithm) is a relatively n...
