Microwave Attenuation and Phase Shift in Sand and Dust Storms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the forward scattering amplitude function for sand particle under the Rayleigh approximation, the calculation models of microwave attenuation and phase shift due to sand and dust particles is given in terms of lognormal size distribution. The model shows that attenuation and phase shift are found to be dependent on visibility, frequency and complex dielectric constant. Obtained results show that moisture content of particle has significant impact on the attenuation and phase shift, and the higher frequency is, the greater are the influence on attenuation and phase shift. The attenuation and phase shift increase with the increase of moisture content.

Review and Assessment of Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Sand and Dust Storms at Microwave and Millimeter Wave Bands — Part II
Suspended particles in the atmosphere during sand and dust storms have numerous consequences on electromagnetic wave propagation in arid regions. The electromagnetic wave signal may suffer attenuation and cross polarization upon encounter with the suspended particles. However, meager information has hitherto been reported about effect of storms on the telecommunication systems operating in such...

Electromagnetic wave propagation in arid and semi-arid regions is influenced by sand and dust storms. Meagre information has hitherto been reported as to the effect of storms on telecommunication systems operating in such regions. This paper presents a survey of current understanding of the wave propagation during storms. In this first part of the review—Part I, detailed parametric assessment o...

Sand and dust storms are natural events that occur widely around the world, mostly in dry and bare lands. Over thepast decade a large part of Iran has been affected by this phenomenon, and Tehran has not been excluded from thisevent. Therefore, having knowledge of spatiotemporal frequency variations can aid us in future management andstorm trajectory assessment. In this study the synoptic anemo...

In order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. In fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region is due to the sensitivity of earth and domination of wind in that region. In this investigation we have tried to find a way for determining the regions in which a dust storm i...

The impacts of Dust and Sand Storms (DSS) on people, crops, livestock, infrastructure and health are well documented. Data have accumulated on the deleterious effects of dust aerosols when they settle on plants. Sand blasting of low growing plants is a common cause of failure in reforestation efforts. Burial of plants by moving sands are also a cause of much damage. The physics of moving sand a...
