the southern shores of caspian sea is subjected to several atmospheric factors due to its geographical position. north atlantic oscillation(nao) one of the effective phenomenon's affects the most part of hemisphere included caspian sea. in this research negative and positive phases of nao considered with variability of temperature and precipitation of southern shores of caspian sea in a 30...

Caspian sea is a land–locked brackish water lake where zoologically characterized by various aquatic animals aquatic animals and different commercially important fish species Shariati [15]. The fishes in the Caspian Sea and its watershed areas include 78 species, and 49 subspecies which belong to 16 fish family. The bulk of Caspian Sea fishes are anadromos and the major commercially important f...

marine environment of the caspian sea, due to extensive human exploitation and discharge of large magnitudes of urban, industrial and agricultural waste, is under extensive pressure. nutrients such as phosphate and nitrate, and other human wastes are introduced into the caspian sea by river inflows and by direct waste dumping threatening marine life and eco system of the sea. high concentration...

in order to determine the synoptic pattern of heavy and extreme precipitations on the southern coast of the caspian sea, precipitation characteristics of the caspian region were investigated by the use of eight synoptic stations data. considering the percentage thresholds, the days with heavy and extreme precipitations were determined for a 10 year period (1994-2003). since more than 75% of day...

Nowadays, a noticeable part of the relations among the states turn around the environment protection. Therefore, the right for ever-creasing use of the existing resources of this inland sea cannot be exclusive to any Caspian State and the aftermath involves all countries of this basin. In this respect, agreement on political border and boundaries with the Caspian Sea?s ecosystem is a difficul...

changes in abundance and biomass of cyanobacteria have been studied in the southern part of the caspian sea (the stretch between tonekabon and amirabad) in four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) in which samples were taken from five depths of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 meters in the stations of tonekabon, noushahr, babolsar and amirabad. samples were fixed in formalin (2-2.5%) before transfer...

upwelling areas in the ocean are important places for fishing as nutrients can be transported from deeper area to the near surface region. in this study, the upwelling in the eastern coastal area of the caspian sea for 2004 was studied using coherens, a three-dimensional ocean model. in order to simulate the circulation in the caspian sea, the gridded fields were chosen as 0.046 × 0.046 degrees...
