Time series and spectral analyses are applied to meteorological data (wind velocity, air temperature, barometric pressure) and sea level measurements from a total of 13 monitoring stations along the Turkish Coast. Analyses of four-year time series identify main time scales of transport and motion while establishing seasonal characteristics, i.e. distinguishing, for instance, between winter storms and summer sea-breeze system. Marine flow data acquired by acoustic doppler current pro filers (ADCP) is also analyzed to better understand the response of the Turkish Strait System dynamics to short-term climatic variability. The cumulative results obtained from these analyses determine temporal and spatial scales of coastal atmospheric and marine fluxes as affected by the regional climate system.

Evaluation of wave statistics by using two wind data sets for Mediterranean Sea region in Turkey
Polat, Çağrı; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Özyurt Tarakcıoğlu, Gülizar; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
In Turkey, due to lack of on-site wave measurement data, design of coastal structures primary relies on wind measurements. Meteorology and ECMWF are the most commonly used data sources for the data sets, which provide valuable information about wind and wave characteristics. In the scope of this research, these two data sets are chosen to be analysed and compared according to their extreme and long term wave characteristics, in order to see different data sets impact on design process. In this study, seven ...
Investigation of the dependence of satellite-based precipitation estimate errors to distance from the coastline Uydu Kaynakli Yaǧmur Verilerinin Hata Oranlarinin Deniz Kiyilarina Olan Uzakliǧa Baǧli Analizi
YILMAZ, MERİÇ; Amjad, Muhammad; Bulut, Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2017-01-01)
In this study, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 v7 satellite based rainfall data are verified by using cumulative monthly rainfall data measured at 257 stations operated by the General Directorate of Meteorology between 1998 and 2014. Long-term mean values of station-based and satellite-based rainfall data, correlation between them, Standard deviation of monthly average and anomaly components, and standard deviation of satellite based data error are analyzed. Variation of satellite-based data...
Chemical composition of precipitation at different parts of Turkey
Ayaklı, Gül; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014)
In this study major ion composition of rain water samples collected at General Directorate of Meteorology Antalya, Balıkesir and Trabzon rain sampling stations were analyzed. The major ions SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, Cl-, Ca2+, K+ and Na+ were analyzed by ion chromatography. Data generated in these stations are compared to evaluate how chemical composition of rainwater changes as air masses travel on the Anatolian plateau. Data also demonstrate how rainwater composition varies seasonally at different parts of Turke...
Filtering of satellite images in geological lineament analyses: an application to a fault zone in Central Turkey
Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (1998-04-01)
Lineament extraction and analysis is one of the routines in mapping large areas using remotely-sensed data, most of which is the satellite images. In this study, we aimed to test different lineament extraction techniques including single band, multiband enhancements and spatial domain filtering techniques. A fast algorithm has been developed for time and cost limited surveys in an area with known dominant and/or any selected orientation of lineaments. During the study for single band analysis, histogram equ...
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...
