iran is located in an area with high earthquake risk. there are over 20 active faults with length of 500 km and also densely populated parts of the country have been rendered vulnerable to strong earthquakes. however, existence of eight faults of the main faults of iran along with at least 18 faults with length of more than 100 km in kerman province have turned the place into one of the riskies...

[1] We investigate the ionospheric conditions required to explain Mars Express Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding topside radar sounder observations of ionospheric attenuation in excess of 13 dB at 5 MHz during solar energetic particle events. We develop theoretical expressions for the attenuation caused by a layer of ionospheric plasma in cases of high, intermediate, an...

Report 53.1.44 pp.; 13 Figs; 1 Table; 20 Refs. In agromcteorological crop yield models meteorological values at not observed points have to be obtained by means of interpolation techniques. In this study, interpolation ...

2. STUDY SITES Abstract A method is presented for the mapping of wind speed over the ocean using satellite (ERS-2 SAR, ENVISAT ASAR) and airborne (E-SAR) synthetic aperture radars. Impacts of a large offshore wind farm on the local wind climate are described quantitatively from the radar measurements. Of particular interest is the magnitude and extent of wakes (i.e. regions of reduced wind spee...

The seismic wavefield propagating along the recently instrumented Pacific-North American plate boundary (California) displays remarkable variation, with regional shear waves arriving at coastal stations up to 20 seconds earlier than equidistant stations in eastern California. Broadband modeling of this data reveals that coastal paths sample fast upper mantle typical of Miocene-aged ocean plate ...

The current geological and tectonic setting of Iran is due to the ongoing convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian Plates, which resulted in the formation of the Iranian plateau, mountain building, extensive deformation and seismicity. The Iranian plateau is characterized by various domains including the continental collision and the oceanic plate seduction. Based on S receiver functions ar...
