چکیده

پهنه­های دارای پوشش برف (SC) و دمای سطح زمین (LST) و نوسانات و تعییرات آنها در طبقات ارتفاعی مختلف، در بررسی­های اکولوژیکی مهم است. یکی از واحد­های کوهستانی اصلی کشور ایران، البرز مرکزی است. در این پژوهش ارتباط SC و LST و ارتفاع در این واحد در بازه­های ماهانه، فصلی و سالانه بررسی شد. بدین منظور از داده­های ماهوارة ترا و آکوا در بازة 2003 تا 2018 استفاده شد. ارتباط واضحی بین افزایش ارتفاع و افزایش SC در ارتفاعات البرز مرکزی مشاهده شد. ارتباط این دو مولفه، مستقیم بوده که البته تغییرات آن در باند­های ارتفاعی مختلف متفاوت است. دو آستانة ارتفاعی مشخص در البرز مرکزی مشاهده شد که نخست در ارتفاع 1000 و دیگری در 4000 متری قرار دارد. SC تا ارتفاع 1000 متری با افزایش ارتفاع به طورملایم افزایش می­یابد و بعد از آن شیب افزایش SC با ارتفاع تشدید می­گردد. بعد از ارتفاع 4000 متری مجدداً شیب تغییرات ملایم می­گردد. تغییرات LST معکوس تغییرات SC است، و افزایش ارتفاع منجر به افت LST می­گردد، البته تا ارتفاع 1000 متری از این وضعیت استثنا بوده و افزایش ارتفاع باعث افزایش LST می­گردد که دلیل آن در تاثیر دریای خزر و رطوبت بالا در محدوده و کاهش تراکم پوشش گیاهی تا این ارتفاع است. از ارتفاع 1000 متری به بالا روند کلی افزایش ارتفاع منجر به کاهش LST می­گردد. ارتفاع خط تعادل دمای سطح زمین و برف-پوش  (ELALS) که ارتفاعی است که در آن LST و SC به تعادل می­رسند، در دورة آمای مورد بررسی در تراز 2800 متری قرار دارد. حداقل تراز ELALS در فصل زمستان در ارتفاع 1740 قرار دارد. این نمایة محیطی در فصول و ماه­های سرد گرایش به تراز­های ارتفاعی پائین و در فصول گرمتر تمایل به ارتفاعات بالاتر دارد. در نهایت این نمایة محیطی قابلیت استفاده در مطالعات اکولوژیک چشم انداز­های کوهستانی را دارد.

Extended Abstract
Abstract
The area covered by snow (SC) and land surface temperature (LST) and their fluctuations in different altitudes of a mountain unit are important in climatic, hydrological and water and ecological resources management. In this study, the relationship between SC and LST in this mountainous unit was examined in monthly, seasonal and annual intervals. For this purpose, Terra and Aqua Satellite image data which are carrying Modis sensor, used in temporal range of 2003-2018.In all time periods studied, a clear relationship between elevation and SC, was observed in the Central Alborz highlands. The relationship between these two environmental indicators are direct, although the rate of change varies on different altitudes. Two specific height thresholds were observed in Central Alborz, the first threshold being at an altitude of 1000 meters and the other at 4000 meters. So that the SC rises to a height of 1000 meters with increasing altitude. After an altitude of 4,000 meters, the slope changes again and starts to decrease. LST variations are the opposite of SC. In general, increasing the height leads to a decrease in LST, but, up to 1000m is an exception to this rule, and increasing the height will increase the LST.
Introduction
The area covered by snow (SC) and land surface temperature (LST) and their fluctuations in different altitudes of a mountain unit are important in climatic, hydrological and water and ecological resources management. Snow cover and land surface tempratue distribuations on different elevational class would be important from the view point of environmental systems and ecosystems observations and management. One of the major mountainous unit in Iran, which is supplying many human population, is the Central Alborz mountain, located in the northern boundary of Iran.
Methodology
In this study, the relationship between SC and LST in this mountainous unit was examined in monthly, seasonal and annual intervals. For this purpose, Terra and Aqua Satellite image data with spatial resolusion of 50m which are carrying Modis sensor, used in temporal range of 2003-2018.
Digital Surface Model released by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) deployed the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) between January 2006 and May 2011, used in this research. This data have spatial resolusion of 1 arc secound (~30m) and a vertical RMSE of 4.4 m. and now is one of the most accurate dataset with global coverage and free of charge.
Results and discussion
In all time periods studied, a clear relationship between elevation and SC, was observed in the central Alborz highlands. The relationship between these two environmental indicators are direct, although the rate of change varies on different altitudes. Two specific height thresholds were observed in Central Alborz, the first threshold being at an altitude of 1000 meters and the other at 4000 meters. So that the SC rises to a height of 1000 meters with increasing altitude. After an altitude of 4,000 meters, the slope changes again and starts to decrease. LST changes are the opposite of SC changes, in general, increasing the height leads to a decrease in LST of course, up to 1000 meters is an exception to this rule, and increasing the height will increase the LST. This is due to the cooling effect of the Caspian Sea and high humidity at altitudes below 1000 meters and also decreasing vegatation coveabdr density up to 1000m, which mainly includes the northern slopes of Alborz. Forests, forest-steppes and grasslands, are absorbing the sunrays energy and consume it in the process of photosynthesis, and so they prevents, the land surface temperature to be increased. In the highland of central Alborz (the elevation up to almost 1000m) lower humidity and vegetation cover in addition to the rocky surfaces, leads to the higher LSTs. From an altitude of 1000 meters and above, the general trend of increasing altitude leads to a decrease in LST in Central Alborz. Another environmental indicator was defined in this study, which was called the Equilibrium Line Altitude of Land surface Temperature and Snow Cover (ELALS). ELALS is a height at which LST and SC reach equilibrium. The annual average of this environmental index is in the hight of 2,800 meters during the study period in the Central Alborz highlands. The minimum level of ELALS in winter is 1740 meters above sea level. This environmental index tends to reach low altitudes in cold seasons and months and tends to higher altitudes in warmer periods of the year.
Conclusion
Finally, this environmental index can be used in geomorphological studies of glaciers, climates, water resources, hydrological management of basins and ecological studies of mountainous landscapes.
