“…However, some authors have developed local MWLs for certain regions. References [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] developed MWLs for Mashhad, Sirjan, Tehran, Zarivar and Marivan, Khersan, western Zagros, Shahrood, Lar National Park, northeast Iran, and North Khorasan Province, respectively. Each of these MWLs is applicable to the region for which it was developed and cannot be used in other parts of Iran because of differences in altitude, latitude, precipitation, and temperature [25,26].…”

Iran is a semi-arid to arid country that faces a water shortage crisis. Its weather is also influenced by various air masses and moisture sources. Therefore, applying accurate stable isotope techniques to investigate Iran’s precipitation characteristics and developing Iran meteoric water lines (MWLs) as an initial step for future isotope hydrology studies is vitally important. The aim of this study was to determine the MWLs for Iran by considering air masses and dominant moisture sources. The Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model backward analysis was used to determine the trajectories of various air masses in 19 weather stations in Iran and the areas covered by them. δ18O and δ2H contents were obtained for precipitation events from 32 stations in Iran and four in Iraq. Stable isotope samples were gathered from different sources and analyzed in various laboratories across the world. Three MWLs for north of Iran, south Zagros, and west Zagros, were determined based on the locations of dominant air masses and moisture sources. The proposed MWLs were validated by comparison with fresh karstic spring isotope data across Iran. In addition, Iran main moisture sources MWLs were used to determine dominant moisture sources role in karstic springs and surface water resources recharge.

“…Second, between 27.5o-30oE, during 5-7 August demonstrating high aerosol load that caused worse air quality over eastern Mugla and western Antalya cities.. Figure 6 demonstrated the HYSPLIT model (Bagheri et al, 2019;Bera et al, 2021;Draxler et al, 1998;Tariq et al, 2016) forward trajectories at the height of 500m from the ground. The results demonstrate that the forward trajectories follow the south and southeastern direction from their source at the height of 500 m from the ground.…”

“…Air Resources Laboratory of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) developed HYSPLIT (Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) model (https://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/index.php). This model frequently utilizes in atmospheric sciences to computing the direction and path of the air masses (Bagheri et al, 2019;Qu et al, 2018;Rao et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2015). This model provides backward (Tariq et al, 2016;Zielinski et al, 2016) and forward wind trajectories (Bagheri et al, 2019).…”

Recently, a worse and large-scale forest fire broke out across Turkey, which adversely affected the country’s air quality level and caused a tremendous loss. Mugla and Antalya cities were the hot spot areas of this fire that experience adverse effects. In this paper, we examined and compare the air pollution scenario before and during the forest fire episode i.e., from 27 July to 10 August 2021 in Antalya and Mugla. The results show that before the fire accusation, i.e., on 27 July, the daily mean aerosol optical depth (AOD), was 0.1 indicates a clear sky. However, as the fire breakouts on 28 July, this daily mean AOD value increased too rapidly and reached 0.52 on 6 August, indicating intense air pollution. The highest AOD was 2.2 over northern Marmaris, Ula, southeastern Milas, Mugla Merkezon on 5 August 2021. The results show that peak fire activity occurred during 4–8 August. Meanwhile, the highest NO2 concentration was 167 µmol/m2 over mid-east Merkez and Köycegiz. The peak HCHO load was 750 µmol/m2 over southern Mugla city. Moreover, Mugla and central Antalya cities experienced the highest O3 concentrations of 0.14 µmol/m2. Similarly, at the Junction of Dalaman, Köycegiz, and Ortaca, peak CO (0.08 mol/m2) and AI (3.5) had been observed. The high-altitude smoke was over Mugla city. Whereas, over Antalya, mixed aerosols had dominant, followed by smoke, dust, non-smoke fine mode, and fine dominated aerosols.

“…The positive relationship of the δ 18 O of the precipitation samples with air temperature and the inverse correlation with the precipitation amount may be the result of higher temperatures and secondary evaporation from the precipitation in the dry periods. The deuterium excess (d-excess), defined by d-excess = δ 2 H-8 × δ 18 O, is affected by the temperature and relative humidity of water vapor sources (Longinelli et al 2006;Yu et al 2008;Zhao et al 2011;Bagheri et al 2019). In order to identify the water vapor sources in the study area, the variations of the isotopic compositions of the precipitation were considered.…”

Groundwater Origin in Qanats, Chemo‐Isotopic, and Hydrogeological Evidence

A systematic study of the chemo‐isotopic characteristics and origin of the groundwater was carried out at six major qanats in the hyper‐arid Gonabad area, eastern Iran. These qanats as a sustainable groundwater extraction technology have a long history, supporting human life for more than a thousand years in this region. The Gonabad qanats are characterized by outlet electrical conductivity (EC) values of 750 to 3900 µS/cm and HCO3‐Na‐Mg and Cl‐Na water types. The Gonabad meteoric water line (GnMWL) was drawn at the local scale as δ2H = 6.32×δ18O + 8.35 (with R2 = 0.90). It has a lower slope and intercept than the global meteoric water line due to different water vapor sources and isotope kinetic fractionation effects during precipitation in this arid region. The altitude effects on isotopic content of precipitation data were derived as δ18O = (−0.0031 × H(m.a.s.l))−1.3). The δ2H and δ18O isotopes signatures demonstrate a meteoric origin of the groundwater of these qanats. The shift of the qanat's water samples from the local meteoric water line (LMWL) in a dry period with higher temperatures is most probably due to evaporation during the infiltration process and water movement in qanat gallery. Based on the isotopic results and mass balance calculations, the qanats are locally recharged from an area between 2000 to 2400 m.a.s.l of nearby carbonate formations and coarse alluvial sediments. The dissolution of evaporate interlayers in Neogene deposits deteriorates the groundwater quality, especially in Baidokht qanat.
