Winds and wind wave climate are two important phenomena for Black Sea basin. Wind wave climate has an important role on design of coastal structures and naval transportation. Despite this fact the wind wave climate is not well known for the Turkish coasts because of limited studies on this subject. The purpose of the present study was to further understand wind and wind wave climate along the Black Sea coastline of Türkiye. For this purpose wind and wind wave data for every 65 months is obtained from ECMWF for and analyzed for 12 locations situated along Black Sea coast of Turkey. For every location the wind [Berkün,2007] and wind wave roses, significant wind wave height vs. Mean wave period relations, extreme probability distribution and log-linear cumulative probability distribution are presented. Also a comparison with previous studies is given for better understanding the wind and wave climate better.

Ice accretion prediction on wind turbine blades and aerodynamic shape optimization for minimizing power production losses
Yırtıcı, Özcan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
The global wind energy resources are plentiful in cold climate regions and mountainous areas, which cause ice formation on wind turbine blades. Prediction of ice accretion on wind turbine blades makes it possible to estimate the power losses due to icing. Ice accretion on wind turbine blades is responsible for significant increases in aerodynamic drag and decreases in aerodynamic lift, and may even cause premature flow separation. All these events create power losses and the amount of power loss depends on ...
GIS based geothermal potential assessment: A case study from Western Anatolia, Turkey
TÜFEKÇİ, Nesrin; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01)
Potential geothermal areas are identified through investigation of spatial relations between geothermal occurrences and their surrounding geological phenomena in western Anatolia, Turkey. The identification is based on only publicly available data. It is expected that the study will guide further preliminary investigations performed for large areas having limited information. Magnetic anomaly, Bouger gravity anomaly, earthquake epicenter and lineament datasets are used for the analysis. The first is used wi...
Wind and swel wave climate for the southern part of Black Sea
Berkün, Uğur; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
The swell waves which are an important component of wind generated waves have significant effects on small craft and fisheries. The swell wave climate has an important role in the design and operation of fishing harbors and harbors for small craft. Despite this fact the swell wave climate is not well known for the Turkish coasts. The purpose of the present study was to identify the swell wave climate along the Black Sea coastline of Türkiye. For this purpose wind and swell wave data for a 65 months period i...
Trend analysis of watershed-scale annual and seasonal precipitation in Northern California based on dynamically downscaled future climate projections
Ishida, K.; Ercan, Ali; Trinh, T.; Jang, S.; Kavvas, M. L.; Ohara, N.; Chen, Z. Q.; Kure, S.; Dib, A. (2020-03-01)
Impact of future climate change on watershed-scale precipitation was investigated over Northern California based on future climate projections by means of the dynamical downscaling approach. Thirteen different future climate projection realizations from two general circulation models (GCMs: ECHAM5 and CCSM3) based on four emission scenarios (SRES A1B, A1FI, A2, and B1) were dynamically downscaled to 9-km resolution grids over eight watersheds in Northern California for a period of 90 water years (2010-2100)...
Climate change effects on extreme flows of water supply area in Istanbul: utility of regional climate models and downscaling method
Kara, Fatih; Yücel, İsmail (2015-09-01)
This study investigates the climate change impact on the changes of mean and extreme flows under current and future climate conditions in the Omerli Basin of Istanbul, Turkey. The 15 regional climate model output from the EU-ENSEMBLES project and a downscaling method based on local implications from geophysical variables were used for the comparative analyses. Automated calibration algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of Hydrologiska Byrans Vattenbalansavdel-ning (HBV) model for the study catchment ...
