Snow recharge is an important dominant hydrological process in the high altitude mountainous karstic aquifer systems. In general, widely used karst-dedicated hydrological models (e.g., KarstMod, Varkarst) do not include a snow routine in the model structure to avoid increasing the number of model parameters while representing the complex hydrological process. As a result, recharge process is not represented well, which questions the optimality of the results that can be obtained under available datasets. This study presents a novel pre-processing method -called SCA routine- to compensate for the missing snow routine in karst models. The proposed preprocessing method is driven by temperature, precipitation, and satellite-based snow observation datasets. The method classifies the precipitation input into three physical phases (rain, snow, and mixed) based on the temperature datasets to distribute each phase over the catchment using satellite-driven Snow-Covered Area (SCA) products. By the proposed method, the spring discharge simulations are regulated well in time and magnitude. To examine the added utility of the SCA routine, the SCA-included simulations are compared to the model performances with no routine and the classical Degree-Day method as a benchmark. To test the efficiency of our proposed method, we used a karst hydrological model (KarstMod) to simulate the karst spring discharge in a well-observed semi-arid snow-dominated karstic aquifer (Central Taurus, Turkey). Our results confirmed that the KarstMod model coupled by SCA routine ensures better model performance with a value of NSE = 0.784 than those of the classical Degree-day method (NSE = 0.760) and the model with no routine (NSE = 0.306), thus providing a physically more realistic parameter set.

Assessment of different topographic corrections in MODIS data for mapping effective snow covered areas in mountainous terrain Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2008-06-05) Topography and its derivatives (altitude, slope and aspect) have an effect on satellite-measured radiances. For mountainous areas the sun zenith and azimuth angles, as well as direction of observation relative to these are more limiting factors. In this paper four topographic normalization methods were used to correct the reflectance values of medium spatial resolution satellite data, namely MODIS. The performance of the topographic normalization methods is examined for snow covered areas of the study area ...
Investigation of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Anomalies over Cyprus Area Georgiou, Andreas; Akcit, Nuhcan (2016-04-08) The temperature of the sea surface has been identified as an important parameter of the natural environment, governing processes that occur in the upper ocean. This paper focuses on the analysis of the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies at the greater area of Cyprus. For that, SST data derived from MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on board both Aqua and Terra sun synchronous satellites were used. A four year period was chosen as a first approach to address and describe t...
Investigation of the impact of the nonlinear relations among soil moisture products over data fusion process Afshar, Mehdi; Bulut, Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2017-04-28) Soil moisture is one of the terrestrial essential climate variables that has critical role in the water, energy, and carbon cycles. There are different ways available for the retrieval of this essential variable (e.g., remote sensing, hydrological models, insitu measurements, and etc.). However, the time series of these retrievals often contain systematic differences, which need to be removed via different rescaling approaches before these data sets could be used in data fusion type studies. In this study, ...
Impact of alternating wet and dry periods on long-term seasonal phosphorus and nitrogen budgets of two shallow Mediterranean lakes Coppens, Jan; ÖZEN, ARDA; Tavsanoglu, U. Nihan; Erdogan, Seyda; Levi, Eti E.; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Jeppesen, Erik; Beklioğlu, Meryem (2016-09-01) The water balance, with large seasonal and annual water level fluctuations, has a critical influence on the nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics of shallow lakes in the semi-arid climate zone. We constructed seasonal water and nutrient budgets for two connected shallow lakes, Lakes Mogan and Eymir, located in Central Anatolia, Turkey. The study period covered 20 years with alternations between dry and wet years as well as restoration efforts including sewage effluent diversion and biomanipulations in Lake Eymir...
SWELL BEHAVIOR OF ARID CLIMATE SHALES FROM SAUDI-ARABIA EROL, AO; DHOWIAN, A (Geological Society of London, 1990-01-01) Arid and hot climatic conditions influence the development of surficial (superficial) sediments by aggravating the desiccation and weathering processes. Such environmental factors promote the occurrence of expansive soils in the Middle East. This study deals with the nature and extent of expansive soil problems in major development areas of Saudi Arabia where severe damage has been experienced in numerous projects. The expansive soils primarily consist of shales of Tertiary age which occur in a narrow strip...
