One of the most successful applications of satellite-borne radar altimeter data over the oceans in recent years has been the extraction of information about long-wavelength baroclinic Rossby (or planetary) waves, which play a significant role in ocean circulation and climate dynamics. These waves cross ocean basins from east to west at speeds of few centimetres per second at mid-latitudes. The ...

an earthquake with the magnitude of 5.9 mw occurred in qeshm island and hormozgan province in november 27th 2005. 3d co-seismic deformation field caused by the earthquake are determined based on the ascending and descending interferograms and azimuth offsets. the peak to peak estimated displacement is about 10 cm in west, 69 cm in north and 22 cm in vertical directions. we apply strain analysis...

saqqez, located in a specific geographical area with its own topographical and climatic conditions, has a cool climate. with long-lasting frosts, the town has imposed harsh bio-climatological circumstances on the residents. on the basis of the results derived from the building thermal request, it was determined that the weather in saqqez is definitely cold about 43.7 percent of the year, and th...

In February 2023, Mw 7.8 and 7.7 earthquakes struck southeastern Turkey. Generating a coseismic 3D deformation field that can directly reflect the characteristics of surface is important for revealing movement mode seismogenic fault analyzing focal mechanism. Optical image sub-pixel correlation (SPC) only captures in horizontal direction, SAR pixel offset tracking (POT) obtains range not sensit...

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation based on the array of three-component electromagnetic vector-sensors is considered within a biquaternion framework. A relationship is established between the biquaternion covariance and the combination of both complex covariance and cross-product. By exploiting this relationship, the DOA estimates can finally be obtained by diagonalizing the biquaternion co...

High-frequency (HF) radars are routinely used for remotely sensing ocean surface currents. However, the performance of the most widely used direction-finding HF radar is degraded due to the effect of the inevitable deviations of actual antenna pattern on the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. In this paper, we quantify the DOA estimation error resulting from the deviation of the actual ante...

Increasing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide is the main factor for the climatic change having some harmful consequences for the human health while there is no considerable effort for decreasing this accelerated global problem, yet. Kermanshah province located in the west of Iran has about 1,200,000 ha rangeland which is dominated by Astragalus sppas the more frequent shrub beinga...

An “acoustic vector sensor” (also known as a “vector hydrophone” in underwater or sea-surface applications) is composed of three orthogonally oriented uni-axial particle-velocity sensors, plus a “pressure-sensor” (i.e., a microphone or a hydrophone)—all collocated in a point-like spatial geometry. (This collocated setup is versatile for direction finding, because its azimuth-elevation spatial r...
