a study on dust storms using wind rose, storm rose and sand rose (case study: tehran province)
Authors
abstract
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 anemometric data of tehran-mehrabad stations over the past47 years were used. annual and monthly wind and storm roses were drawn to determine the predominant winddirection. the primary results indicated that the prevailing wind direction is western, but in summer, it is southsoutheastern.according to the threshold wind velocity (6.5 ms-1) about 12% of recorded data was categorized intothe storm condition.. results also indicated that western, northwestern, and southwestern winds have the three highestrates of sand drift potential (dpt), respectively. the temporal variability of dust storms showed that between 1951 and2005, the largest number of days characterized by dust and thunderstorms was observed in the spring and summer.the average number of dusty days in spring and summer was four d/m, and the fastest winds ranged from 40 to 49m/s-1. an assessment of dusty days over the past five decades revealed that the average number of dusty days hassignificantly increased from 10 days to 80 days. it seems that cyclonic circulations in the monsoon trough togetherwith regional winds in central iran are responsible for the transmission of dust particles over central iran. results anddata from this study can be helpful in determining and predicting the critical dust storm period and in formingmanagement strategies in order to minimize aftermath impacts.

The purpose of this research is to analyze anemometer data to study the wind regime in Kashan and to investigate the role of different land uses in sand storms. Therefore, anemometer data obtained from synoptic station of Kashan were analyzed during a 40-year period (1966-2005) using different methods. Seasonal and annual wind roses and storm roses for different lands were created using WRPlot ...

In the 14 July 1997, issue of Lancet, Schlemper et al. [1] reported a study in which four Japanese and four Western pathologists (from the United States, Canada, Germany, and Finland) compared their diagnoses of gastric biopsy and resection specimens having epithelial lesions ranging from reactive, through preneoplastic, to invasive carcinoma. These pathologists independently classified microsc...
