چکیده

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 used as appropriate satellite data in this study. after that, astorm index was defined by means of analyses of storm radiance profile in bands with maximum and minimum stormreflection. the index is the square of difference between visible and thermal infrared bands, which is able to segmentstormy confines with the range of reflection changes between 0 and 16. the reflection values were segmented incenter of a 1 km2 network using usual interpolation methods such as local polynomial, radial basis function,inverse distance weighted, ordinary kriging and universal kriging. in order to assess the above mentionedinterpolation methods, validation techniques were applied using arcgis 9.2 software. the result of these assessmentssuch as standard deviation method indicates that the ordinary kriging had lower standard deviation. by analyzing thevariograms and spatial analysis of the data using gs+ software, the best mathematic model able to fit the points wasselected and classification was done by using this model. finally, the stormy corridors with different dust densitieswere determined and by calculating the area and determining the villages located in these corridors, the criticalregions were recognized. in this study the data from visible bands (4 and 9) and thermal band (21) of the modissensor shows better results compared with the other bands, to segment and classify relative density of dust storms.moreover, variographic analysis of the satellite data indicates that in most of the dust storms, power models withspherical threshold is the best for interpolation.

Identifying and Tracking Storms in Satellite Images

Both the correlation methods and cell-identification methods currently used to identify and track individual storms in remotely sensed weather images have drawbacks. A hybrid method is introduced wherein we use a segmentation-based approach to identify storms in images and arrange the identified storms heirarchially. A genetic-algorithm method of matching these segmented regions across frames i...

Estimating Wind Speeds of Convective Storms from Tree Damage

In much of the central and eastern United States, tree damage is typically the most common damage indicator available to National Weather Service meteorologists estimating wind speeds from convective storms. Unfortunately, most meteorologists have little or no formal training in the susceptibility of trees to high winds, and the Enhanced Fujita scale does not address many of the various factors...
