The wind and wave (wind wave/swell wave) climate has an important role in the design and operation of coastal and marine structures, harbors and ports. The objective of this study is to identify the statistical characteristics of the winds, wind waves and swell waves in Eastern Mediterranean, and coastline of Türkiye. For this purpose, the data of wind speed and direction, swell and wind wave height, period and direction for a certain duration with the six hours time intervals are obtained from ECMWF for the wind and wave climate computations. The data covers the area of eastern Mediterranean region. In order to compute the wind and wave climate at any selected coastal location, a software is developed by Serhan Aldoğan in his MSc thesis. For every location, the wind wave roses, significant height of wind wave and swell wave versus mean period of primary wind directions, extreme probability analysis and distribution, and log-linear cumulative probability analysis and distributions is presented, compared and discussed. By the help of the specifically developed software, it is possible and convenient to analyze the wind and wave climate using ECMWF data at any coordinate.

Wind and swell wave climate for Turkish coast of The Aegean and Mediterranean Sea
Derebay, Saygın Kemal; 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 Aegean and Mediterranean Sea coastline of Türkiye. For this purpose wind and swell wave data for a...
Wind and wind wave climate for Turkish coast and application to Aegean and Mediterrenean sea
Aldoğan, Serhan; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
The wind waves have significant effects on small craft and fisheries. Therefore, wind wave climate has an important role in the design and operation of fishing harbors and harbors for small craft. The purpose of this study is to identify the wind wave climate along the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea coastline of Türkiye. For this purpose, wind wave data for a certain period is obtained from ECMWF for the analysis. Moreover, the data will be analyzed for locations selected along the Turkish coast usin...
Dispersion of long waves on varying bathymetry
Kian, Rozita; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Zaytsev, Andrey (null; 2014-01-01)
Coastal dynamics of swell and long waves is important for morphological changes, near shore circulation, wave amplification, transport of sediments and pollutants, and also comfort of the boats in harbors and bays. There are different models computing near shore behavior of long waves and tsunamis under different input wave and bathymetric and morphological conditions. NAMI DANCE (developed in collaboration with METU, Turkey and Special Bureau of Automation of Research Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia) a...
Numerical modeling of wind wave induced longshore sediment transport
Şafak, Ilgar; Ergin, Ayşen; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
In this study, a numerical model is developed to determine shoreline changes due to wind wave induced longshore sediment transport, by solving sediment continuity equation and taking one line theory as a base, in existence of seawalls, groins, T-groins, offshore breakwaters and beach nourishment projects, whose dimensions and locations may be given arbitrarily. The model computes the transformation of deep water wave characteristics up to the surf zone and eventually gives the result of shoreline changes wi...
Fragility based seismic vulnerability assessment of ordinary highway bridges in Turkey
Avşar, Özgür; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Recent devastating earthquakes revealed that bridges are one of the most vulnerable components of the transportation systems. These seismic events have emphasized the need to mitigate the risk resulting from the failure of the bridges. Depending on the seismicity of the bridge local site, seismic vulnerability assessment of the bridges can be done based on the fragility curves. These curves are conditional probability functions which give the probability of a bridge attaining or exceeding a particular damag...
