A method exploration on measuring the changes of sand ridges in exposed radial sand ridges area by means of remote sensing technology

چکیده
Present study took into account the relationship between surface soil moisture of intertidal zone and its spectral reflectance and the relationship between surface soil moisture and the relative elevation of intertidal zone to extract ‘ridges’. It can represent the main morphological character of radial sand ridges, and find specific spectral bands to diagnose much ‘drier’ points of sand ridges in low tidal condition. This could be considered as much higher points of sand ridges. On that basis the ridges’ changes were also discussed in this paper. Based on spectral analysis and comparison between extracted sand ridges and field measured elevation, the results demonstrated that the sensitive band centered at 2 224 nm has an excellent potential to extract sand ridges, furthermore the extracted sand ridges matched with field measured elevation accurately.

Dust is one of the common processes of arid and semiarid regions that its occurrence frequencies has increased in recent years in Iran. The proper identification of sand and dust storms (SDS) is particular importance due to its impact on the environment and human health. So far, several methods for identifying these sources have been proposed such as methods based on field studies and geomorpho...
متن کاملBehavior of a Sand Ridge Model
A model for the formation and evolution of longshore sand ridges in waters deeper than the shoaling region suggests that a possible but by no means exclusive agent for the formation of these bars are weakly nonlinear dispersive long waves. The model describes how these water waves, which are represented by wave packets, and a sandy bottom topography, conspire to produce sand ridges. This study ...
متن کاملThe sand dunes migration patterns in Mesr Erg region using satellite imagery analysis and wind data
Understanding the situation, behavior and the nature of sand dunes and also their location, transport and deposition are very important. On the other hand, the importance of sand dunes is due to the impacts that they have on water and soil resources, flora and fauna and human infrastructure. This study, looks at the development patterns of sand dunes in Mesr erg region. In the first part, data ...
متن کاملAnalysis of sand dunes to determine wind direction and detect sand source sites (case study: Khartooran Erg, Iran)
Wind regime and sand grain size are two of the factors that determine the morphology and dynamics of sand dunes in desert areas. Regarding the importance of wind effects on sand dunes especially in Iran, in this study, Khartooran Erg was analyzed to determine wind direction and to detect sand source sites. Khartooran Erg is located on eastern north of Iran and lies in Khorasan Razavi and Semnan...
