Abstract
Flood is the most common natural hazards in northern KHorasan. So, the most hazardous floods from 2006 to 2013 in this region are selected. In North KHorasan environment and agricultural crops take the most damage of flood. Results shows that if cold and humid air mass from upper latitude with high pressure on Caspian sea combined by warm and humid air mass of Indian ocean and Oman sea, this can make heavy rainfall and flash flood. Each one of these air masses with appropriate dynamic conditions can create a heavy rainfall. However, instability indices were calculated by Mashhad's Skew-T diagram. SODAR outputs are used to investigate the unstable atmospheric conditions. All indices show a high probability of instability and thunderstorm in these days. This study appears that although there is not upper atmospheric station in northern KHorasan, but we can use Mashhad Skew-T diagrams for strong atmospheric system in North East of Iran. This finding will help forecaster for better prediction.Finally, we found that Timely flood forecasting and management can help todamage reduction and protect the environment.
