Carbon Monoxide (CO) has a significant indirect effect on greenhouse gasses due to its ozone and carbon dioxide precursor, and its mechanism of degradation involving the hydroxyl radical (OH) which control the oxidizing ability of the tropospheric. To understand the effect of human activities on atmospheric composition, accurate estimates of the sources of atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) are necessary. MOPITT (Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere) is a NASA Terra satellite instrument designed to allow both Thermal-Infra-Red (TIR) and Near-Infra-Red (NIR) observations to be used to collect vertical CO profiles in the Troposphere via the concept of correlation spectroscopy. The objective of the current study is to analyze and map the monthly, seasonal and annual trend of CO concentration for year 2016 in Nineveh governorate using the retrieved CO Surface Mixing Ratio Day mode of level 3, version 7 dataset. The dataset was downloaded from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) operated GIOVANNI portal. The results of dataset analysis in GIS software showed many sources of carbon monoxide in Nineveh Governorate, which change with months and seasons of the year. Generally, the observed CO concentration levels in the southern and western of the governorate were more than in the northern and eastern parts. The annually average CO ranges from (115.374 ppbv) to (132.452 ppbv). Also, CO emissions and concentrations were higher in winter (128.638-157.567 ppbv) than summer season (97.144-106.515 ppbv).
Studying the spatially distribution pattern of fuel station in province of Baghdad
was done by utilizing GIS techniques which they are the most powerful tools for
design, display and analysis for the spatial data. Nearest Neighbor Analysis method
was applied for analyzing the spatial distributions of the fuel stations. Baghdad was
considered to be divided in to two main parts (outskirts of Baghdad and center of
Baghdad). The nearest neighbour for all parts of Baghdad indicates for the
distribution pattern is random and differs from place to another in randomly rate.
Multi-spectral satellite images of the Landsat satellite by the tow sensitive Thematic Mapper (TM) and Thematic Mapper Enhancement (ETM+), which covered the study area located south east of Iraq. In this research; used the sixth thermal spectral band (Thermal Band) for study the water cover in the AlRazzaza Lake located within the province of Karbala. We intended to study the cover a case of the study area, used satellite images showing the status of region during the period from 1990 to 2001 and 2007. From this study we conclude that cover the water of the study area change in sequence case to decrease during these years.

The use of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) are among the most efficient modern tools to study the varied natural resources in terms of localization, identification of characteristics, and the study of its dynamics. Thus, the aim of this study is to show the importance of remote sensing and Geographical Information System in studying the Guercif irrigated plain. We will first process and analyze satellite images using the program (Erdas IMAGINE 15. 00) and then create thematic maps illustrating the irrigated area's evolution (ArcGIS 10.8). The results revealed that since the late 20th century, the area of Guercif Plain has expanded significantly, with the total irrigated space that has been doubled many

The use of Geographical Information System (GIS) based water quality information system and spatial analysis with Inverse Distance Weighted interpolation enabled the mapping of water quality indicators along Tigris river in Salah Al-Din government, Iraq. Water quality indicators were monitored by taking 13 river samples from different locations along the river during Winter season year 2020. Maps of 10 water quality indicators. This meant that the specific water quality indicator and diffuse pollution characteristics in the basin were better illustrated with the variations displayed along the course of the river than conventional line graphs. Creation of

In the present work manual, rule based, and classification methods have been applied. And using an object- based approach to classify imagery. From the result, we obtained that each method is suitable for extraction depending on the properties of the object, for example, manual method is convenient for object, which is clear, and have sufficient area, also choosing scale and merge level have significant effect on the classification process and the accuracy of object extraction. Also from the results the rule-based method is more suitable method for extracting

Show MoreTo date, comprehensive reviews and discussions of the strengths and limitations of Remote Sensing (RS) standalone and combination approaches, and Deep Learning (DL)-based RS datasets in archaeology have been limited. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to review and critically discuss existing studies that have applied these advanced approaches in archaeology, with a specific focus on digital preservation and object detection. RS standalone approaches including range-based and image-based modelling (e.g., laser scanning and SfM photogrammetry) have several disadvantages in terms of spatial resolution, penetrations, textures, colours, and accuracy. These limitations have led some archaeological studies to fuse/integrate multip

Show MoreThe drainage basin's hydrological aspect studying is considered to be important issue because of their influence (especially in arid to semi-arid regions) on the water management projects, agricultural management projects, and grazing ones. The importance of this study is coming from the fact that AL-Dibdiba formation basin climate is arid to semi-arid and there are human activities (habitation and agricultural) in the east part of it, so the water resources management is needed for this basin. The morphometric analysis illustrates the hydrological aspects in a quantitative form; the problem is the use of the traditional schemes in the calculation processes (such as the topographic map and the planmeter), which coast time and money and a

Assessing the underground conditions can be occurred by drilling vertical holes called exploratory boring into the ground, obtaining soil (disturbed and undisturbed) samples, and testing these samples in a laboratory (civil engineering laboratory /University of Baghdad). From disturbed, the tests involved the grain size analysis and then classified the soil, Atterberg limit, chemical test (organic content, sulphate content, gypsum content and chloride content). From undisturbed samples, the test involved the consolidation test (from this test, the following parameters can be obtained: initial void ratio eo, compression index cc, swel
