Abstract
Abstract Sharifi MR, Shahi Z. 2020. Assessment of wind shelter conditions of an open water storage reservoir using wind shelter index. Lake Reserv Manage. XX:XXX–XXX. Identifying the wind-affected area in a given waterbody facilitates the implementation of some evaporation control methods because the amount of evaporation is a function of the wind shelter. In this study, a method is developed to identify the wind-affected area of open water in reservoirs, using the Dez Dam in Iran. Through the wind shelter index (Sx), which is most commonly used in snowy areas, the wind shelter was calculated at different points on the open water. The points were then categorized in terms of the wind shelter index values using cluster analysis. For this purpose, Sx values were calculated and then clustered using 28,321 points of the lake’s surface. Using this method, the water surface was classified into areas, with 5 parts having different wind sheltering. On average, a considerable part of the water surface of the lake (66%) was more exposed to the wind than other parts. Therefore, it can be predicted that the evaporation at these areas is higher than at other areas of the lake surface.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
