Precipitation is the most important component and critical to the study of water and energy cycle. In this study we investigated the propagation of precipitation retrieval uncertainty in the simulation of hydrological variables, such as soil moisture, temperature, runoff, and fluxes, for varying spatial resolution on different vegetation cover. Two remotely sensed rain retrievals were explored ...

the drought caused a series of effects on many sectors of economy, especially natural resources. during two last decades, iran has suffered from several severe to extreme agricultural droughts which caused significant decreases in rangeland and agriculture yields. this paper discusses the detection of agricultural drought severity over the rangelands of markazi province between 2000 and 2014 us...

The dynamics of land surface temperature (LST) in Afghanistan the period 2000–2021 were investigated, and impact factors such as soil moisture, precipitation, vegetation coverage on LST was assessed. remotely sensed moisture data from Land Data Assimilation System (FLDAS), precipitation Climate Hazards Group Infra-Red Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS), NDVI Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectro...

The green tract of land is one of the significant factors for urban planning and urban management to improve and conserve the urban environment. Planning the green tracts is often carried out as a part of land use strategy based on relation to neighborhood, their scale, functions, and locational condition. On the other hand, a vegetation-covered area is a considerable focus of investigation for...

Methods Ordinary least squares regression was used to develop relationships between forest extent and surface temperature. Forest extent was derived from the 900 m 2001 National Land Cover Database (NLCD 2001) and surface temperature data were from the MODIS 1 km 8-day composite (MYD11A2). Forest–surface temperature relationships were developed for winter, spring, summer, autumn and annually us...
