National Geographical Organization Scientific- Research Quarterly of Geographical Data (SEPEHR) 2588-3860 22 87 2013 10 23 Synoptic analysis of dominant patterns in Khuzestan province’s dust storm Synoptic analysis of dominant patterns in Khuzestan province’s dust storm 32 38 25683 FA Hasan Lashkari Shahid Beheshti University Maryam Sabuei Shahid Beheshti University Journal Article 2013 10 07 In order to investigate the dominant patterns in atmosphere during the occurrence of dust storm in Khuzestan province, time and date of occurrence were exploited from 11 synoptic stations during 1997 to 2006. Afterwards, 19 dust storm were exploited which involved at least 6 stations and lasted at least for 2 days, and their related 00, 850, 700 hectopascal pressure level maps were explored. The results identifies 4 dominant patterns during the occurrence of dust storm in Khuzestan province: a) Pakistani low pressure system at ground level, trough at 850 and 700 hectopascal level, b) low pressure system at ground level, trough at 850 and ridge at 700 hectopascal level, c) low pressure system at ground level, ridge at 850 and 700 hectopascal level, d) dynamic Mediterranean low pressure and Siberian high pressure system, trough at 850 and 700 hectopascal level.
