Arabic Abstract
تم في هذا البحث دراسة ظاهرة العواصف الترابية باستخدام الصور الفضائية للقمر الاصطناعي (Meteosat-9) و المأخوذة بواسطة المتحسس (SEVIRI Sensor) حيث تم مراقبة مسار العاصفة التي تعرض لها العراق بتاريخ 2011-3-3 من خلال التتبع الزمني للصور الفضائية المتعاقبة.
طبقت تقنيات المعالجة الصورية على الصور الفضائية باستخدام برنامج (ERDAS 8.4) حيث تم أولا تصحيح الصور هندسيا (Geometric Correction) لغرض تحويلها إلى صور تقرأ الإحداثيات الجغرافية الحقيقية و تم حساب مساحة العاصفة و تتبع تغير المساحة أثناء مراحلها خلال مراحل العاصفة المختلفة و تم ذلك من خلال تطبيق تقنية التصنيف الموجه (Supervise Classification) و من ثم حساب سرعتها حيث وجدت (37.62) كم / ساعة.
English Abstract
Dust storms phenomenon were studied qualitatively in this research with the aides of Meteosat-9 images that has been used for monitoring the path and coverage of the dust storm.
The monitoring of dust storm movement were done by using true colour composite image supplied by Europe’s meteorological satellite agency EUMETSAT.
The Image processing techniques are applied by using ERDAS 8.4 package, where in the first step the images are corrected by Geometric Correction technique for the purpose of obtaining images from which to read the real geographical coordinates.
Dust storm coverage area was calculated by using the supervise classification mechanism, as well as been identifying and tracking the change of dust cloud during different stages of dust storm period.
The speed of dust storm were calculated by identifying the front pattern of the dust cloud and found to be (37.62) km / h.
