Accuracy assessment of moderate resolution image spectroradiometer products for dust storms in semiarid environment.

Dust storms are strongly and negatively associated with the annual cycle of rainfall and coincide with the west and southwesterly winds in west and south west of Iran. Accuracy assessment of particulate matter products of moderate resolution image spectroradiometer was studied in this research. Mode...
