Background and Objective: Dust storm is a phenomenon that occurs in arid and semi-arid regions due to high wind speed and turbulence on the surface of the soil without cover and prone to erosion. Dust changes the radiant budget of the earth's surface and changes the temperature of the earth's surface and atmosphere. Therefore, dust affects the energy exchange between the surface and the atmosphere as well as the dynamics of the atmosphere. Recognizing and studying the trend of dust storms and their relationship with climate change is one of the most important ways to reduce the damage caused by this phenomenon. This study amies to evaluate the effect of dust storms on radiation indices and heat flux according to the combination of satellite remote sensing information and re-analysis data in Hirmand basin.
Materials and Methods: In this research ERA5 re-analysis and Terra satellite data used for the August 23-26, 2010 event in Hirmand. Products and satellite data used including true color images and AOD and re-analysis data including Surface latent heat flux (SLHF), Surface Sensible Heat Flux (SSHF), Surface net Solar Radiation (SSR), Surface net Thermal Radiation (STR) and Balance Radiation (Rn). Dust particles were routed using the HYSPLIT model and wind speed in the study area was also assessed using the analysis data. Also, for validation of satellite data and re-analysis, visibility and air temperature data, at height of 2 meters, at Zabol Meteorological Station, closest station to the study area, were analyzed.
Results: According to the HYSPLIT model output, most of the dust particles were collected from the deserts of Turkmenistan and then the dry areas around Lake Hamun and parts of northern Pakistan. AOD values showed that from August 21, the value of this index gradually increased so that on the 25th day, the maximum AOD value reached 1.25. Examination of the values of radiation and heat flux indices showed a significant decrease in SSHF, SSR, STR and Rn indices and their values reached the lowest value on the 26th day and the SLHF index with a slight difference on the 25th day reached its lowest value of 58 w/m2. Correlation study showed that SSR and Rn indices with -0.370 and -0.359 respectively had the highest and SLHF index with -0.153 showed the lowest correlation with AOD index.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the western parts of Hirmand Basin, Lavar or North wind has emitted dust particles into atmosphere, and the region and rotational currents has caused the distribution of these particles in the study area. The results of satellite data and their re-analysis and matching with real images showed that the study event increased the optical depth of dust particles, which resulted in tangible and surface heat fluxes, solar and thermal radiation, as well as balance. Radiation was greatly reduced. Evaluation of horizontal visibility and air temperature data at a height of 2 meters at Zabol station also confirmed the results of satellite images and re-analysis data.
