Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Use of Remote Sensing Techniques in Detecting and Predicting Forest Vegetation Change Using MODIS Satellite Data, Golestan, IranAkram Karimi, Sara Abdollahi, Hamid Reza Kabiri Balajadeh et al.It is so important to be aware of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of changes for the environment, land use planning and sustainable development. Detecting the changes in the condition of an issue is done by time difference observations. Change detection refers to the process of detecting time changes of an object through different time observations. The detection of changes by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 8,287 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Dust Event By RS, GIS, MODIS and Statistical Methods Among Satellite ImagesKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Naimeh Rahimi, Parisa Ashrafi et al.Dust is an event that occurs in most sections of the world that leads to financial loss and harmful environmental impacts. Several factors are included in dust event incidence, some of them are natural and others are due to human processes and their impact on the environment. Thus, very critical situations are coming and it is expected that the majority … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 6,698 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of Needle-Leaved Species in Increasing the Risk of Fire by Using Remote Sensing, Case Study: Forests of Golestan, IranAkram Karimi, Sara Abdollahi, Hamid Reza Kabiri Balajadeh et al.The present research was conducted to determine the sensitivity of needle-leaved species compared to broad-leaved in causing a natural fire in Golestan province. Vegetation and moisture stresses of plants were studied in both needle and mixed leaved forest the fire occurred in 2010-2014. In order to examine the normal condition of each indicator, the time series was produced from 2000 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 7,847 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAir Quality Interpretation of Four Geographically Distinct Hot Spot States of India-An Appraisal Using Aerosol Optical Depth and Particulate MatterJacob Joshua, Aishwarya Sathyachandran, Chenicherry House SujathaThe application of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer-Aerosol Optical Depth (MODIS-AOD) for Air Quality (AQ) assessment has contributed significantly by making use of a spatiotemporal relationship between ground-level particulate matter and aerosol optical density at both city and state levels. Traditional ground-based site-specific particulate matter monitoring method has found a profound gap in their spatial coverage. Such challenging situations prevail over … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 6 · 8 Feb 2023 · 5,883 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInteractions of Aerosol Optical Depth and Cloud Parameters with Rainfall and the Validation of Satellite Based Rainfall ObservationsMd Monirul Islam, Md Mainul Islam Mamun, Md Zahidul Islam, Mumnunul KeramatAerosol-cloud interactions influence the global precipitation patterns that influence significantly the Earth's climate system. Anthropogenic aerosols alter the clouds and their optical properties. The present study has investigated the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), cloud parameters and rainfall interactions for three different monsoon periods (2008-2010) and also compared the satellite rainfall with ground based observations, by using MODIS and TRMM datasets. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 24 Jun 2017 · 7,751 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating Snow Budget of Karaj Dam ReservoirManijeh Ghahroudi Tali, Bohloul Alijani, Reza SarvatiProblem statement: Most of the cold period precipitation of Karaj Basin falls in the form of snow. This snow and its run off are important to the dam and the local needs such as agriculture and the drinking water of Tehran. But due to the scarcity and in some elevations the lack of weather stations, measuring this snow cover and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,515 accessesView PDF Cite
