        Artificial Aperture Radar (SAR) is a remote sensing system used to capture high-resolution images. This radar is installed on a platform (aircraft or satellite). Ideally, the platform is assumed to be moving at a constant speed along a straight path, while atmospheric disturbances and aircraft maneuvers, and other factors cause the platform to change in direct velocity and deviate from the nominal path, and a fuzzy error occurs in the received echo. As a result, there will be distortions in the final image. In this article, we will analyze the effects of platform motion on the artificial aperture radar image and the need to compensate for motion errors. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was to compare the estimation of the structural attributes of stand volume, basal area, and tree stem density per hectare of the Caspian forests using Radar data and integration of Radar and Lidar data in some parts of the district I and II the ShastKalateh forest in the Golestan province. Forest structural data were measured and computed from 307 circular plots. The required pre-processing and processing was performed using raw data of Radar (2009) and Lidar (2011), and the corresponding values of sample plots were extracted on all Radar and Lidar derived indices. The modeling was performed using extracted Radar features as individual and also using Lidar and Radar extracted features as integrated with the non-parametric random forest algorithm in 75% of samples. The modeling validity was performed using 25% of the remained samples by absolute and relative root mean square error (RMSe) and Bias. The percentage RMSe and the Bias values using Radar data were obtained form stand volume (44.09% and -0.99%), basal area per hectare (35.72% and -3.15%) and tree stem density per hectare (42.73% and 3.52%), respectively, and using the integration of Radar and Lidar data for stand volume (37.23% and 0.76%), basal area per hectare (31.37% and -3.14%), and tree density per hectare (36.44% and 0.95%). The results showed that the integration of Radar and Lidar data could improve the estimates, especially in the stand volume, compared to using Radar data as individually. Manuscript profile

        The availability of suitable maps of terrain features is very important because these complications and the process governing them are the sources of many environmental hazards and resources. The purpose of this research, compare the optic and radar data for terrain feature extraction. A panchromatic band of Landsat 8 (OLI) as an optical image and two C-band Sentinel-1 satellite radar images with a resolution of 22×20 m per pixel were used. Two radar images (radar-1 and 2) in two different acquisition directions with different look angels were visually interpreted. In order to reduce the geometric and radiometric effects of the topography, the radar images were corrected using 3-second SRTM data (modified radar). In this study, four feature types were extracted by visual interpretation, which is: valleys, blades, alluvial fans, and debris fans and the results were compared with the World Imagery layer. The accuracy, completeness, quality, kappa, and z-test were calculated for every interpretation. The results showed that the highest accuracies in recognition of valleys and blades using Landsat image were 83.90% and 87.88%, respectively, and the highest accuracies of alluvial fan and the debris fan of the modified radar image were 82.76% and 83.72% respectively. The highest kappa coefficient related to the modified radar data was calculated at 54.72% (Landsat 49.74%) and the highest z-text related to Landsat-radar 1 was calculated 0.9871 (Modified Radar-Landsat 0.6443%).

        Salt domes are one of the most beautiful natural phenomena. Despite the outcrops of many salt domes in the Zagros region, but many of them are still buried and hidden. Due to active Zagros tectonics, the movement and ascending trend of salt domes do not stop. In this research, with the aim of the changes monitoring in the Earth's crust in the Zagros area, one of the new, hidden and ascending probabilistic salt domes, was identified using a radar interferometry method. For this purpose, ASAR radar images for the years 2007 and 2012 and SENTINEL-1 for the years 2014 and 2017 were used. In order to determine the amount of changes in the earth's crust, during the process of unwrapping on the images, the interference of each of the images was extracted. According to the results of the analysis of ASAR images, the growth rate of the salt dome was 1.6 centimeters per year between 2007 and 2012. While according to the interferometry images that obtained from SENTINEL-1 the rising speed of this salt dome increased between 2014 and 2017, reaching 2.9 centimeters per year. The result of this study shows that the probabilistic salt dome is active. Consequently, due to the importance of salt domes in various fields of natural resources, especially in the formation of oil reservoirs in the Zagros region, as well as more accurate identification of the subject, it is necessary to carry out special geophysical studies in this area.

        Minab plain in Hormozgan province has experienced population growth with agricultural development in recent decades. Low rainfall in recent years, successive droughts, and limited surface water resources, irregular irrigation practices in the agricultural sector in the study area, along with inappropriate cultivation patterns, have caused the extraction of water wells in the region. The extraction of these wells and groundwater resources has led to an imbalance in the aquifer in the area and a decline in groundwater levels. The consequences of this trend have caused the creation and expansion of subsidence in the region. This research, by investigating radar, satellite images and using differential radial interferometry, has been used to detect and determine the amount of subsidence in order to investigate the extent of this phenomenon in the study area. In this study, data from the Sentinel-1 refer to the dates 2014 and 2018 were used. The results showed it had 13-centimeter subsidence in the study period. After verifying the results by control points (in September 2018), in order to find the relationship of subsidence with changes in groundwater level, elevation, and slope, a spatial analysis was performed and the correlation of each of these factors with subsidence event density was calculated. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and Moran's index showed that climatic event due to water level changes in the study area was 0.925. The values ​​of 1.89 and 0.06 for standard normal distribution (z) and the p_value respectively, confirm a strong autocorrelation between the studied factors. Manuscript profile

        AbstractLand subsidence occur due to the natural and human activities. One of the main causes of subsidence is the excessive usage of groundwater resources. In the study area, due to the dry and desert area, low rainfall and lack of permanent rivers, the most use of groundwater resources is that in this area we see many wells for agricultural use. Various types of deformation surveying technique have been used widely to measure the land subsidence pattern.This research is based on radar remote sensing method and field study. First, satellite data and images were examined and processed using the remote sensing method. To investigate the temperature, the radar interference technique was used to process the radar images at specific intervals. The images used relate to the ASAR Envisat satellite in the C band from 2003 to 2010 and the pair of images of the Sentinel 1 satellite in the C band from 2019 to 2020. The results of this technique show that the highest amount of subsidence related to the agricultural lands in the center and north of the plain is about 13.4 cm in the period 2007 to 2010 and also in the period 2007 to 2008 about 13.1 cm. We see the subsidence meter. In the new study of Sentinel1 satellite images in the period 2019 to 2020, this area has also experienced a subsidence of 5.9 cm, which indicates the continuation of subsidence in this region. To verify the results, statistics related to piezometer wells were used and the results show a decrease in groundwater level in the study area in the period 2007 to 2010. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective An earthquake is one of the most important natural events that cause a lot of financial and human losses every year around the world. An earthquake is an earthquake caused by the rapid release of energy, which often occurs due to landslides along a fault in the earth's crust. Earthquakes cause many geological-geotechnical instabilities such as multiple rockfalls, soil and rock landslides, runoff and mud flow, subsidence limestone caves, liquefaction, and expansion rupture. One of the most important effects of an earthquake is the displacement of the earth and the resulting morphological changes. Estimating the rate of land displacement and monitoring the morphological changes of this phenomenon in order to manage the crisis is one of the basic measures after the earthquake. In recent decades, extensive efforts have been made to monitor changes and displacements of the Earth's crust. With accurate alignment and ground observations, changes can be measured with great accuracy, which ground measurements are costly and can be measured sporadically. The use of remote sensing technology in the various earth sciences is very common due to the wide coverage of satellite images, the timeliness of the images, and its low cost compared to terrestrial methods. One of the applications of measurement is to show and control the movements of the earth's crust due to factors such as earthquake, drift, subsidence. The use of radar, satellite images, and radar interferometry methods, due to extensive coverage and periodic imaging and with an accuracy of about cm, is a good tool to monitor changes in the Earth's crust. Satellite imagery of the Sentinel-1 satellite system, which has been made available to the public free of charge by the European Space Agency since 2014 and is currently being continuously imaged, is a good tool for earthquake monitoring. A radar imaging technique is a new tool used for the discovery and display of land subsidence.  In the present perusal, in order to achieve the above purpose, using satellite data and radar interferometry technique, the deformation of the earth's crust due to post-seismic movements in Sarpolzahab city has been investigated. Materials and Methods In this paper, using radar imagery, the deformation field due to the seismic dimension of the county is obtained from 11/ 11/ 2017 to 17/11/2017 using radar data (S _ 1 A - IW), with a baseline of 100 m.Results and Discussion Examination of the results of deformation of the earth's crust after an earthquake shows; The highest rate of land subsidence in the north, northwest of Sarpol-e-Zahab city (about 90 cm vertical displacements of the earth's crust) to the west, and land elevation around the epicenter (north of the herd), about 30 cm vertical displacements of the earth's crust (towards Darbandi Khan) It has happened. The effects of subsidence and uplift caused by the earthquake in the study area in addition to morphological changes in the area have also affected the hydrology of water resources in the area. For example, earthquakes have caused significant changes in the volume of water in the Strait of Hammam dam and increased the volume of water resources in the Sirvan river.Conclusion The results of this study showed that the use of radar interferometry technique, in addition to being an efficient tool in estimating the rate of crustal displacement, can be used in relatively accurate estimation of quantitative changes in water resources resulting from crustal displacement.

        The mineralogy and geochemistry of Paleocene shales and interbedded siltstones in the southwestern of Ahar town (NW Iran) were studied by optical microscopy, XRD, SEM, XRF, and ICP-MS techniques. The mineralogical composition, mainly characterized by calcite, quartz, feldspar, dolomite, muscovite, magnesiohornblende, chlorite, illite, montmorionite, palygorskite, and koninckite, suggests relatively fast erosion of the parent rocks and incipient metamorphism for the studied sediments. The values of weathering indices and the Index of Compositional Variability, as well the mineralogy of the sediments imply moderate weathering in the parent rocks and deposition as first cycle sediments. The shales exhibit higher Al2O3/TiO2 (≈21), La/Sc, and Th/Cr values corresponding to felsic and/or intermediate source rocks. The geochemical character of sediments including ∑REE=116 ppm, (La/Yb)N=8.3, (Eu/Eu)=0.78, and the immobile elemental ratios values suggest an immature continental arc setting. The typical shale and chondrite normalized REE patterns of the shales are comparable with continental arc terrigenous sediments and Andean-type andesites. The inferred tectonic setting for the studied shale is in agreement with the tectonic evolutionary history of NW Iran during the Upper Cretaceous-Upper Paleocene. According to the present data, we conclude that the ultimate provenance of the studied shale and its interbedded siltstone and thin detritic limestone was probably the Upper Cretaceous sediments with the geoenvironment of acidic to intermediate volcanic rocks and marl.

        Many varied attitudes exists about how the changes occur in the land-surface from the time William Davis’s researches to the latest researchers in the history of geomorphologic philosophy, and many different terms are used by scientists in order to observe their ideas related to geomorphic phenomena. The phenomenon of duality has been less seen in the geomorphology field. There exist some contradictory phenomena in nature, but further investigation can show their correlation clearly. Durability can be considered as a better dynamic entropy. In this research, radar interferometry technique has been used in Yazd-Bahadoran area, as well as through field and library studies, the amount of subsidence and uplifting has been investigated and the results have been compared with the other researchers' studies, which is a new concept in the literature of geomorphology under geo-duality. The study results indicate that the main reason for the subsidence was not to cut down the level of groundwater, and in this regard the tectonic movements play a significant role. Also, the study shows a significant relationship between subsidence in the Bahadoran plain and the collapse in adjacent heights in terms of duality or dichotomy. Manuscript profile

        The main reason for subsidence in Iran is the large amount of water withdrawn fromunderground resources, which, if not managed properly will cause irreparabledamages. To deal with such a problem, it is necessary to identify the subsidence areas.Most country's ancient artifacts have been built on fertile plains, and due to the drynessof the past decade, and the abundance of groundwater from the subsidence, itaccelerates the destruction of ancient works in these areas. In this research, the area ofPersepolis, which is 57 km northeast of Shiraz and 10 km north of Marvdasht city, isbased on the level of the land subsidence using differential radar interferometrytechnique. Using Eoli-SA 9.4.3 software, two images were taken from the ASVARdata series of the ENVISAT satellite. The data processing with SARSCAPE 4.3software, a radar differential interference method, has been implemented at twodifferent times in a region. A new image called an interferogram or interferometer wasprovided that contains the target geophysical information. Therefore, the amount ofsubsidence or uplift was determined in the three interlaced states. During the researchperiod from 23/12/2004 to 17/12/2009, which is 1820 days, it has been clear that theancient area of Persepolis, the historic city of the pool and the role of Rustam betweentwo and three centimeters subsided, and the role of Rajab is also between the four hasseen up to five centimeters of subsidence.

        Subsidence is the earth’s surface movement towards down relative to a datum such as sea level. The main reason of subsidence in Iran is groundwater overuse which if not managed correctly, it causes irreparable damages. Therefore, the first step in solving this problem is identification of subsidence areas and estimating the rate which will have a significant role in controlling this phenomenon. One of the most suitable methods of identification of subsidence is using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)technique. This method is superior to other detection T in terms of cost, precision, extent of the study area and time and it can provide an accurate estimate of the area. In this research, zone of the Rafsanjan plain has been investigated between 2006 and 2010. In order to calculate subsidence rate, SAR data related to the ASAR sensor in C-band and ALOS PALSAR in L-band were used. Generalized linear models in C-band and L-band with values of 0.91 and 0.89 and RMSE coefficient of 0.37 and 0.61 represented a strong linear relationship. Also the relationship between subsidence and the changes inpiezometric levels (groundwater extraction) in the study area showed that for each 4.7 centimeters groundwater level decrease, there has been 1 centimeter subsidence.

Therefore, the need for water resources has caused the withdrawal of these very valuable resources from the underground aquifers of the country, whether allowed or not, and is facing the risk of land subsidence. The construction of the dam was another destructive effect that played an important role in blocking the aquifer nutrition. Narmashir-Fahraj plain is one of the plains in the country which has been directly affected by dam construction and uncontrolled abstraction of groundwater. After the dewatering of Nesa Dam, we were witnessed many environmental and water crises downstream of the alluvial fans of Fahraj and Normanshir.The need for drinking water, irrigation of date orchards and other uses has led to high groundwater abstraction. Also the subsidence is calculated using radar data Sentinel 1 satellite for 6 months about 10 cm, which is high. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to landslide risk management as well as to avoid secondary hazards such as the destruction of walls and buildings, road lines and the transfer of energy and infrastructure by the relevant governorate.

         Many researchers and users have drawn their attention to the radars with Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas in recent years. The reason is the capabilities that these systems provide to the users, including its low cost, the similarity of the output of MIMO antenna arrays compared to conventional systems with similar characteristics, and its strength. One of the applications of this system in Radar Remote Sensing is identifying the objects and their movement speed. This article’s primary purpose is to identify the moving object and determine its speed by Doppler processing and Fourier transform. For this purpose, firstly general topics related to MIMO systems are mentioned, and then available explanations on how to identify the moving objects are provided. Finally, the characteristics of the sensor used in the laboratory and the results of two different simulations in a software environment are presented. The first simulation is to determine the proper angle of transmission of waves to the object, and the second simulation is to identify two moving objects in two different modes: 1- moving two objects at different speeds while the sensor is stationary and 2- simultaneous movement of two objects and also moving the sensor at different speeds.

        In recent years, it has occurred in different regions of Iran, especially the plains, and in most regions has caused this phenomenon to become a major regional and country crisis. Kerman desert province is no exception to this rule and most of its plains and industrial areas have suffered from this phenomenon and have high subsidence rates. The present study investigated the occurrence of this phenomenon using radar interferometry technique and Sentinel 1 satellite images in the period of 2019 and 2020 in Bardsir plain of Kerman province. To investigate the rate of subsidence in the region, initial processing was performed in remote sensing software and GIS and two Goldstein and Adaptive filters were used to evaluate the obtained results. The results show that the Goldstein filter has subsidence values up to 10 cm in certain ranges and the uplift values up to about 6.5 cm and the Adaptive filter have given the subsidence values up to 9 cm in some ranges and the uplift values up to about 5.6 cm. The reason for the difference in values in the results of these two filters is that in the Goldstein filter, the amount of coherence increases by manipulating the phases, so the image is brighter, thus the situation in this filter improves. But this is not the case with the Adaptive filter, and the phases are not manipulated, and in some areas, the amount of blurriness is higher in different parts of the image. Manuscript profile

        The land subsidence phenomenon as a geomorphic hazard has reached to a critical level in some parts of central Iran recently. The gradual and sudden land subsidence is influenced by natural and artificial parameters. The gradual land subsidence has a slow pace mainly due to the overextraction of underground water or oil resources. The continued land subsidence can, in the long period, deliver irreversible damages to buildings, roads, bridges and pipelines. The application of remote sensing technology in earth survey is very common due to the wide coverage of satellite imagery, the timeliness of images and its lower required budgets versus ground-based methods. One of the applications of remote sensing is to control the movement of the ground surface due to various factors such as earthquakes, landslides and land subsidences. In this research, two satellite images of SENTINEL1 from 2015 to 2017 and DEM of the mentioned region have been used. Special software was used for processing images by forming an interferogram and performing filtration, consequently the land subsidence was determined at this time interval. Investigations confirmed that the excessive use of underground water resources has led ro substantial amounts of land subsidence in Yazd province. Interferograms resulting from the processing of radar images showed the occurrence of land subsidence within the neighbourhood of gas distribution and transmission pipelines in specific at an average of 8 to 10 cm around several cities, in specific Ardakan and Meybod Manuscript profile

        Iran is located in one of the most critical regions of the world called the Middle East. Due to its convenient location and abundant energy reserves, this region has always been of interest to foreign countries, led by the United States. This has led to numerous US interventions and the establishment of numerous military bases around Iran, especially after September 11th incident. Continuous monitoring of these bases and related facilities is one of the most important deterrents that can be done by remote sensing knowledge. One of the remote sensing techniques is the synthetic aperture radar, which has been considered in recent years, while the Sentinel-1 satellite launched in 2014 by the European Space Agency uses the same technique. One of the applications of this satellite, which is introduced in this article, is the detection of Patriot MIM-104 systems. This is done by combining the VV and VH polarizations with two images taken during the satellite's day and night transitions from a single point, which are represented by X-shaped lines where the Patriot systems are located. The images related to this satellite are also processed by Google Earth Engine system, which saves considerable time in analysis and increases the accuracy of the results due to the minimization of human error. The results showed that in the regions around Iran and especially in the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, there are at least 16 active Patriot systems, which indicates its great development in recent years and shows the need for continuous monitoring of these systems.

        Developing a robust platform architecture can give companies a competitive edge and enhance product future generations and customer satisfaction. However, in order to develop a product platform architecture, there is a need for some kind a product variety design that concurrently manages costs and the supply chain process, and focuses on ease of use and improved availability to components. In this research, the design for variety (DFV) approach and two indices, generational variety index (GVI) and coupling index (CI) are used to measure a product architecture. Using the quality function deployment (QFD) and design structure matrix (DSM), design indices for product diversity are identified and ranked. Additionally, the design for variety approach is modeled simultaneously with the concepts of design for cost (DFC), design for availability (DFAv), and design for supply chain (DFSC) to yield a practical mathematical model for the development of the product platform architecture, which aims for product diversity, improved availability, reduced costs, and supply chain management. The case study of the current research is a phased array radar, which is optimized using the latest techniques (genetic algorithm) and MATLAB software to solve the problem. After implementing the model, considering four objectives including total cost, availability, supplier evaluation score (competency) and replaceability (variety), and seven main parameters of the model, sensitivity analysis and other comparisons and results are presented, which analyzes the relationships between objectives, the impressment and affectability of objectives and model parameters on each other. Regarding the comparison of objectives, the results generally show the inverse relationship between the total cost objective and the other objectives, and the direct relationship between the other objectives with each other. Additionally, the results of the sensitivity analysis performed indicate that the availability objective had the highest effect and replaceability (variety) and the evaluation score of suppliers (competency) and total cost also took next place.

        Land subsidence is one of the environmental hazards caused by various factors, and especially in recent years, it has caused a lot of damage to human societies. The Khanmirza plain aquifer has also faced this phenomenon in recent years. The creation of wide gaps and cracks on the surface of the plain and the release of gas from them makes the issue of subsidence important. For this reason, the present study tries to monitor and measure the amount of land subsidence in Khanmirza plain, and evaluate and analyze its relationship with the withdrawal of excess from underground water sources. For this purpose, in order to investigate the changes in the underground water level during 10 years and in two different time frames from the IDW geostatistics model and to estimate the subsidence of the land surface using the differential radar interferometric method and from the Sentinel-1A radar images during 5 years and in Three different time periods were used. The results of the research indicate that displacement of the earth's surface in different time periods is different and does not have a constant trend, while the trend of the drop of the underground water level has been increasing in the whole time period. Accordingly, according to the results of the research, there is no significant relationship between the indiscriminate extraction of underground water sources and the subsidence areas in Khanmirza plain.

        The energy released during the rapid movement of the fault is the cause of most earthquakes. In our country, which has active faults and many seismic areas, recognizing the fault movements of the results of these movements is of special importance. In this study, using up and down images of Sentinel-1 satellite and using multi-diaphragm radar interferometry techniques and ordinary radar interferometer, the 1397 Yasuj earthquake was studied and an isothermal deformation was prepared in both directions of the satellite line of sight and the azimuth path; And three orthogonal components of the displacement field were extracted using geodetic measurements. Then, in order to obtain the fault geometry and slip distribution on the fault plane, these components were analyzed using collocation optimization method and Akada elastic half-space analytical model. The displacements made due to the displacement of the fault due to the Yasuj earthquake in the study area show that the geological structure of the area after the earthquake has changed from its structure before the earthquake from -80 to -20 cm. Elements of surface displacement components obtained from the model, amount of displacements for Yasuj fault in the study area, the farther the distance from the fault across the Zagros, the less and less displacements, and the closer the adjacent faults, the displacements increase, the maximum altitude displacements for The image frame is equal to 0.45 to -0.45 m and the maximum amount of horizontal displacement is about 18 cm, which is more as it moves from the fault to the plain areas.

        In phased array systems, increasing the array length and consequently increasing the number of antenna elements are needed to improve spatial resolution. It can be addressed by MIMO radars using orthogonal signals from multiple transmitters and using the virtual array. Virtual element's locations are derived from the convolution of the physical elements of the transmitter and receiver. To understand the functionality of MIMO radars, virtual array has been introduced. As the virtual array be larger, the radar angle resolution increase. Increasing the degree of freedom of the virtual array is highly dependent on the array of transmitter and receiver elements placement. The Nested Array which is one of the well-known methods in alignment of MIMO radar array elements, is investigated. In this article, the new nested array is examined and implemented in one dimension. The very innovative idea of this article is to use the new 2D nested array. A multi-step approach for implementing two-dimensional arrays using a new nested array for a MIMO radar is presented which can be generalized to any other structure with different number of elements. Finally, the advantages of the proposed method in terms of angular bandwidth of the main radar are presented. The results show that the proposed method is much more efficient than the other methods. The comparative results presented at the end of this article shows that the half-power beam width of the proposed method is approximately 0.3 degrees while this value for the nested method is more than 2 degrees.

        In this paper, the far- and near-fields of a vessel are discussed in the full-wave CST software environ­ment. In this regard, the far-field is extracted with the help of the data obtained from the scattered near-field. First, to explain the method used to calculate the scattered near-field, a simple structure (metal cube) is simulated. Then, by simulating the full-wave of a vessel with the dimensions of 130.8×20×23.1 cm3 or 1.54×103 λ3 at 8.5 GHz from the X-band, its far- and near-fields were calculated and reported according to the mentioned method. In the following, the far-field of this vessel is obtained with the help of the available data from the scattered near-field. The characteristic of the radar cross section (RCS) of this vessel is also calculated using the Asymptotic solver of the CST software. The maximum RCS of the vessel at 8.5 GHz is equal to 2.51 m2. In order to calculate all near- and far-electric fields, the Time Domain solver has been used. The simplicity of calculating the far-field from the near-field presented in this paper makes it possible to analyze similar structures using the same method. Manuscript profile

        Monopulse is a technique which is used to detect radiation direction of waves. Radiation can be originated from active sources such as radar antennas, disturbances, etc., or passive sources, such as the reflector plates of an aircraft. Nowadays, monopulse technique has been used in many modern radar systems. In radar tracking accuracy, the criterion for evaluating the angulation function is the differential gradient. It needs to have accurate information about antenna dimensions and wavelengths. In this paper, the difference gradient value is normalized and can be completed with knowing the radiation pattern of the antenna without knowing wavelength and gate dimensions. Then, by choosing a four-horns feed, the feed is optimized based on the squint angle. The results indicate that in the whole functional range, the optimum squint angle has the least angular error. Simulations provide us with confidence in the superior performance of the radar tracker with an optimal squint angle for all target angles within the range of the pattern of monopulse radar.

        Since most space-based synthetic aperture radar systems have an accuracy of less than one meter in the resolution of images, very accurate processing of synthetic aperture radar data to produce images with high-resolution accuracy is of particular importance. In this article, methods for actual modeling and simulation of the space-based synthetic aperture radar system are presented and the raw data were obtained. For simulation and modeling, the main characteristics of the real satellite synthetic aperture radar system related to sensor mode/dynamics, target observation, antenna beam patterns, pointing errors on the antenna beam, and raw data generation are reflected. Analyzes based on simulations show the effectiveness of the presented methods. In the simulation, the presented method compensates for the phase errors induced by the aiming errors of the antenna beam. The results of the centralization of raw data, the calculated value of the resolution accuracy of the slant range is equal to 1.89 meters. Also, the average values of the measured slant range resolution accuracy, peak side-lobe ratio (PSLR), and integrated side-lobe ratio (ISLR) for the Interrogation Rate Frequency (IRF). An unweighted point in the focused image was obtained around 1.94 m, 13.57 dB and -10.26 dB respectively. The calculated value of azimuth resolution accuracy is 2.24 meters and the average values of measured azimuth resolution accuracy, PSLR, and ISLR for unweighted point target IRFs are 2.29 meters, -12.57 dB and -9.68 dB, respectively. These results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. In other words, the performance of space-based synthetic aperture radar image formation using the proposed method for raw data is very good, so the various effects induced by the real synthetic aperture radar sensor are reflected. Therefore, these results confirm the proposed methods for forming the space-based synthetic aperture radar image. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, flood producing thunderstorms have caused flood with severe human and financial damage in northwestern Iran, especially eastern Azarbaijan. In this research, we tried to obtain new and more accurate methods for acquiring knowledge about thunderstorms types. According to the weather reports, the data set containing five flood cases with twenty precipitable cells have been extracted in the area covered by Tabriz radar. Radar maximum reflectivity and its vertical cut products are used for detecting type, duration and intensity of thunderstorms. In addition, by using upper air data from sounding and General Forecast System (GFS) data with resolution of 0.5° × 0.5°, some instability indices such as K index, Showalter index, Total-Total index, Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE), Bulk Richardson Number (BRN), Helicity, Energy – Helicity index, Vertical wind shear and precipitable water have been investigated. Results showed that the most flood producing thunderstorms were Single cell or Multi cells which after their movement and merging together, formed complex cells. Manuscript profile
