sea level variations in the persian gulf, the oman sea and the north of the arabian sea have been investigated. for this purpose, 365 daily satellite images provided by the topex/poseidon (t/p) and jason-1 satellites were processed. programming in matlab software environment was also carried out for some parts of image processing. the results of this research reveal that water level fluctuation...

Burning of nearly 700 Kuwaiti oil wells and storage tanks during the Persian Gulf war made a severe impact on the environment of the region by emitting about 5000 tons of smoke daily. The fall out of smoke plumes in forms of dry and wet deposition reached even to the center and north of Iran. The majority of the rich and productive rangelands in the southern parts of Iran were strongly marked b...

In this study, the relationship between annual sunspot number (ASN) and annual precipitation totals (APT) has been investigated over the northern coasts of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea by using two statistical methods: contingency tables and cross-correlation function. Only Bushehr and Jask stations (270 mm and 140 mm mean APT) have long term monthly precipitation records started instrumentall...

During the Persian Gulf war in 1991 around eight million barrels of crude oil were spilled into water. This caused a large volume of contaminated water has to move to land in particular, Khuzestan's soil. A real danger of oil pollution would be an environmental calamity, and therefore, reclamation practice on the spoil soil area to expel the oil is essential. Bioremediation methods will be surv...

Article History: Received: 22 Dec. 2014 Accepted: 23 Aug. 2015 This paper presents a detailed structural reliability procedure in order to achieve an acceptable safety margin for template type offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. Probability of failure in this study is calculated by considering the cumulative effects of all levels of wave loading during the lifetime of the structure ...
