Abstract :

Background and Purpose: One of the most important problems in the world is the increase of global climate change due to excessive greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon dioxide gas is known as the most important greenhouse gas and the first factor in climate change. Various factors such as topography, rainfall, air currents and the presence of wind are important factors in the diffusion, dilution and displacement of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Method: In the present study, using ECMWF wind speed data and GOSAT satellite carbon dioxide data, the role of wind in detecting local sources or areas of carbon dioxide emissions and such an investigation was made into the possible sources of emissions of this gas on a provincial scale. Findings: The largest aggregate of carbon dioxide gas in both southern and southeastern Iran is located in both cold and hot seasons. However, the dispersion and concentration of this gas in winter is higher than in the summer. The results showed that in most of Iran's provinces, local resources are responsible for increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere in winter. Discussion and Conclusion: High concentration of carbon dioxide gas in winter is due to the more consumption of fossil fuels for heating and lack of photosynthesis process in cold season. While in summer, according to the geographical location of the studied provinces, the role of regional sources of carbon dioxide emissions is more than local sources.
