摘要:
During and after the Gulf Conflict. DLR's,German Remote,Sensing Data Center (DFD) continuousry acquired NOAA-11 passes over the GunRegion showing smoke plume phenomena and surface conlamination effects both in desert and vegetated areas. The position of the receiving station in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich, meant that restrictions concerning the data's temporal and spatial resolution had to be accepted. Qualitative information regarding spatial distribution, height, thickness and some dynamic aspects of the smoke plumes were able to be derived. In addition to ihis, the investigation of satellite imagery during April, May, and June proved that large vegetated areas in the southern Mesopotamian region are obviously affected by the fall-out. As the affected region belongs to the most important agricultural areas in Iraq, a fundamental lack of food supply must be expected.
