Long-term, high spatial and temporal resolution of atmospheric data is crucial for the purpose of reducing the effects of hydro-meteorological risks on human society in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner. However, such information usually is limited in transboundary regions due to different governmental policies, and to conflicts in the sharing of data. In this study, high spatial and temporal resolution atmospheric data were reconstructed by means of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model-WRF with input provided from the global atmospheric reanalysis of the 20th century (ERA-20C) over the Hong-Thai Binh River watershed (H-TBRW). The WRF model was implemented over the physical boundaries of the study region based on ERA-20C reanalysis data and was configured based on existing ground observation data in Vietnam's territories, and the global Aphrodite precipitation data. With the validated WRF model for H-TBRW, the reconstructed atmospheric data were first reconstructed for 1950-2010, and then were evaluated by time series and spatial analysis methods. The results of this study suggest no significant trend in the annual accumulated precipitation depth, while there were upward trends in annual temperature at both the point and watershed scale. Furthermore, the results confirm that topographic conditions have significant effects on the climatic system such as on precipitation and temperature.

Development of high-resolution 72 h precipitation and hillslope flood maps over a tropical transboundary region by physically based numerical atmospheric-hydrologic modeling Trinh, T.; Ho, C.; Do, N.; Ercan, Ali; Kawas, M. L. (2020-12-01) Long-term, high spatial and temporal resolution atmospheric and hydrologic data are crucial for water resource management. However, reliable high-quality precipitation and hydrologic data are not available in various regions around the world. This is, in particular, the case in transboundary regions, which have no formal data sharing agreement among countries. This study introduces an approach to construct long-term high-resolution extreme 72 h precipitation and hillslope flood maps over a tropical transbou...
Evaluation of the Properties of Corn Cob Hemicellulose Based Biodegradable Films Obtained by Extrusion and Solvent Casting Methods Akınalan Balık, Büşra; Özkan, Necati; Bölükbaşı, Ufuk (2019-05-28) The remarkable consumption and environmental concerns related to the utilization of fossil based resources have led researchers to focus on renewable raw materials. Lignocellulosic biomass, the fibrous part of plants with a complex matrix comprising different polysaccharides, mainly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, is the most abundant, inexpensive, non-starch renewable source in the world. In the present study, hemicellulose, which was obtained from corn cobs by alkali extraction method (...
ANALYZING THE COMBINED IMPACT OF CLIMATE AND LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE ON THE HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSE OF JHELUM RIVER BASIN IN KASHMIR Hamid, Injila; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-7) In terms of efficient and sustainable management of water resources of a basin, land use land cover (LULC) and climate change impact studies hold utmost importance. Land use change dynamics along with the climate change owing to greenhouse gas emissions are altering the hydrological response of river basins. This study therefore focuses on quantifying the combined impact of LULC and climate change on the water balance components of the Jhelum river basin using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrologi...
Assessment of solar data estimation models for four cities in Iran Jahani, Elham; Sadati, S. M. Sajed; Yousefzadeh, Moslem (2015-04-29) The estimated solar resources are important for designing renewable energy systems since measured data are not always available. The estimation models have been introduced in several studies. These models are mainly dependent on local meteorological data and need to be assessed for different locations and times. The current study compares the results of Angstrom's model and a neural network (NN) model developed for this study with measured data for four cities in Iran. The time resolution for the estimated ...
Analysis and modeling of spatially and temporally varying meteorological parameter : precipitation over Turkey Aslantaş Bostan, Pınar; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Heuvelink, Gerrad; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2013) As precipitation is the very important parameter of climate and hydrology, exploring spatial and temporal distribution and variation of this variable can give an idea about climate conditions and water resources in the future. Therefore accurate mapping of the temporal, spatial and space-time distributions of precipitation is important for many applications in hydrology, climatology, agronomy, ecology and other environmental sciences. In this thesis, temporal, spatial and space-time distributions and variat...
