Zehtabian, Gholam Reza & Seyed Kazem Alavipanah & Amir Hoshang Ehsani
Having noticed that playa and arid lands have a harsh condition, studying and field observation in these areas face somelimitation and difficulties and in some cases is not possible at all. Therefore in order to overcome some of these problems, remote sensing and landsat satellite data can be very useful to study such areas, espejcially because of absence (or near-absence) of vegetation cover, usually clear sky, a shortage of rainfall and thus low soil moisture contents.
