SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY IN NDWI AND ITS DRIVING FACTORS IN MONGLOIAN ARCTIC BASIN /2005-2010/

Abstract: In recent years, the natural overall prospect and component elements have been greatly changed due to the climate warming and other factors. The attitude has been observed that some areas and rivers are drained whereas the amount of areas in some areas is being raised. By this research work, I aimed to determine the areas changes of river-basin in the Arctic Ocean which is one of the river-basins in Mongolia through utilizing Terra-Modis satellite which has the 8-days frequent and the resolution of 250m and 500m, as well as study how the climate factors such as temperature and precipitation would affect to the areas changes. During the period of research, the areas of water cover of the river-basins in the Arctic Ocean had been increasing, but it hugely depended on the precipitation and air temperature of the year.
