Dust storms are known as hazardous problems in western part of Iran. Iraq is one of the main sources for dust storm arriving to the western part of Iran. The Radial Basis Function Network model (RBFN) has been used to assess wind erosion hazards in the source area of dust storms over several western Iranian cities.

Currently dust storms are among the most prevalent global environmental issues.They early warning indicators for desertification and climate change. The study intends toanalyse event in Pakistan using normalized detection index (NDDI), brightness temperature(BT) MODIS data of aerosol optical depth (AOD), deep blue angstrom exponent (AE), aerosolindex (AI) HYSPLIT mass trajectory methods. It als...

We present a comprehensive critical review of well-established satellite remote sensing water indices and offer novel, robust Augmented Normalized Difference Water Index (ANDWI). ANDWI employs an expanded set spectral bands, RGB, NIR, SWIR1-2, to maximize the contrast between non-water pixels. Further, we implement dynamic thresholding method, Otsu algorithm, enhance ANDWI's performance. Applie...
