Dust storm occurs frequently in arid and semi-arid areas of the world. This natural phenomenon, which is the result of stormy winds, raises a lot of dust from desert surfaces and decreases visibility to less than 1 km. In recent years the temporal frequency of occurrences and their spatial extents has been dramatically increased. West of Iran, especially in spring and summer, suffers from signi...

The simulations and potential forecasting of dust storms are of significant interest to public health and environment sciences. Dust storms have interannual variabilities and are typical disruptive events. The computing platform for a dust storm forecasting operational system should support a disruptive fashion by scaling up to enable high-resolution forecasting and massive public access when d...

1- introduction despite of technology progressives, natural hazards caused damage of world cities propertys and life, part of the damages related to adequate uncognition response to natural hazards. the dust natural hazard occurrence has attracted public attention in the recent years. nonrecieption and attention to the natural hazards not only affected society economic, but also affected differ...

One of the environmental concerns during the past decade is dust pollutant. This phenomenon is extensively known around the globe. In Iran, this destructive phenomenon has created serious problems among environmental policy-makers in general and agricultural producers in specific. Kermanshah Province is located near Iraq, a neighboring country in west part of Iran. It is believed that Iraq is m...

dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. iran and particularly its west and south-west parts, periodically faces with the dust phenomenon and its problems. in this investigation two dust samples has been selected and studied that they has sustained over three days with visibility less than 1000m in west of iran. the first one occurred during 18 - 21 april ...
