Abstract

Study of Salt domes is important because of the salt tectonic unique characteristics and the strong interaction between motion and thermal flows. Remote sensing technology in recent years has taken a strong role to achieve the information from this unique phenomenon. The aim of this research is to use a separate window algorithm (Split-Window) to obtain land surface temperature (LST), surface temperature of Jahani, Konar-e Siah and Khur Ab salt domes using OLI and TIRS sensor images of Landsat 8 to analyze the structural and thermal salt domes properties. LST results showed that there is higher heat flow in a same direction for all three salt domes. Comparison the topographic profile of salt domes and the amount of heat flow indicates an inverse relationship between the elevation and the temperature parameters. Reducing the upward force, related to increasing the elevation of the salt dome and overcome the weight of the salt on upward power caused the formation of a warmer salt flow in the topographic slope direction. Results show a direct relation between slope topography and heat flow in all three salt domes. The main factor is related to overtaking of horizontal and low slope flow of warm salt respect to the vertical salt flow due to bouncy force. The highest temperature in the Khur Ab, Konar-e Siah and Jahani salt domes were determined 37, 37 and 38°C in the low elevation points that show reverse relationship between elevation and temperature. Identify and locate of areas with heat potential for using geothermal energy is the main practical aspect of this research.
