Extracting A-L Relationship for Urmia Lake, Iran Using MODIS NDVI/NDWI Indices

Author(s):

Hamid Mohebzadeh

A technique to extract volume-area-elevation relationships was developed using MODIS–Terra images in the absence of accurate bathymetric data and was tested over the Urmia Lake, Iran, which is facing a very great degree of water shortage difficulty due to remarkably water decline over the past 20 years. Lake areas were estimated using satellite data and two simple image computation methods: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). The area computed from the imageries was compared with those retrieved from satellite images. The area-elevation relationships were created by fitting a third order polynomial trend line to each dataset. Results revealed that NDVI A-L relationship provides slightly a better a... view more»
