Mapping dust storm PM2.5 pollution risk using indicator kriging in northern Taiwan

Mapping Spatial Thematic Accuracy Using Indicator Kriging

Monitoring of Dust Storm in the Midwest of Iran Case Study: Dust Storm June 16-19, 2015

This research was conducted to identify the dust storms in the Midwest of Iran from June 16 to 19, 2015. To investigate the synoptic conditions of the causes of this phenomenon, the ECMWF has an array of 0.125 degrees, including geopotential, omega, and sea level pressure, orbital and meridian components of the wind, specific humidity Soil moisture was applied to a depth of 10 cm. Similarly, fo...

Spatial Assessment of Groundwater Quality Monitoring Wells Using Indicator Kriging and Risk Mapping, Amol-Babol Plain, Iran

The main aim of monitoring wells is to assess the conditions of groundwater quality in the aquifer system. An inappropriate distribution of sampling wells could produce insufficient or redundant data concerning groundwater quality. An optimal selection of representative monitoring well locations can be obtained by considering the natural and anthropogenic potential of pollution sources; the hyd...

Dust storm simulation over Iran using HYSPLIT

Particulate matters have detrimental effects on human health, environment and economic. This pollutant may emit from anthropogenic or natural sources. On global scale, main proportion of natural particulate matter release to the atmosphere because of wind erosion from arid and semi-arid regions. Recently, the amount of dust coming from Arabian countries has dramatically increased, especially du...

Image Thresholding by Indicator Kriging

ÐWe consider the problem of segmenting a digitized image consisting of two univariate populations. Assume a priori knowledge allows incomplete assignment of voxels in the image, in the sense that a fraction of the voxels can be identified as belonging to population 0, a second fraction to 1, and the remaining fraction have no a priori identification. Based upon estimates of the short length sca...
