Information on extreme precipitation for future climate is needed to assess the changes in the frequency and intensity of flooding. The primary source of information in climate change impact studies is climate model projections. However, due to the coarse resolution and biases of these models, they cannot be directly used in hydrological models. Hence, statistical downscaling is necessary to address climate change impacts at the catchment scale.

Inter-comparison of statistical downscaling methods for projection of extreme flow indices across Europe Hundecha, Yeshewatesfa; Sunyer, Maria A.; Lawrence, Deborah; Madsen, Henrik; Willems, Patrick; Buerger, Gerd; Kriauciuniene, Jurate; Loukas, Athanasios; Martinkova, Marta; Osuch, Marzena; Vasiliades, Lampros; Von Christierson, Birgitte; Vormoor, Klaus; Yücel, İsmail (2016-10-01) The effect of methods of statistical downscaling of daily precipitation on changes in extreme flow indices under a plausible future climate change scenario was investigated in 11 catchments selected from 9 countries in different parts of Europe. The catchments vary from 67 to 6171 km(2) in size and cover different climate zones. 15 regional climate model outputs and 8 different statistical downscaling methods, which are broadly categorized as change factor and bias correction based methods, were used for th...
Assessing the impact of climate change on Mogan and Eymir Lakes' levels in Central Turkey Yagbasan, Ozlem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2012-05-01) Global warming is likely to have significant effect on the hydrological cycle. Some parts of the world may see significant reductions in precipitation or major alterations in the timing of wet and dry seasons. Climate change is one of the serious pressures facing water resources and their management over the next few years and decades. As part of the southern belt of Mediterranean Europe, Turkey is highly vulnerable to anticipated climate change impacts. The changes in global climate will seriously affect i...
The importance of allochthonous organic matter quality when investigating pulse disturbance events in freshwater lakes: a mesocosm experiment Caldero-Pascual, Maria; Yildiz, Dilvin; Yalçın, Gülce; Metin, Melisa; Yetim, Sinem; Fiorentin, Claudia; Andersen, Mikkel Rene; Jennings, Eleanor; Jeppesen, Erik; Ger, Kemal Ali; Beklioğlu, Meryem; McCarthy, Valerie (2021-11-01) Extreme precipitation is occurring with greater frequency and intensity as a result of climate change. Such events boost the transport of allochthonous organic matter (allo-OM) to freshwater ecosystems, yet little is known about the impacts on dissolved organic matter (DOM) quality and seston elemental stoichiometry, especially for lakes in warm climates. A mesocosm experiment located in a Turkish freshwater lake was designed to simulate a pulse event leading to increased inputs of allo-OM by examining the ...
Evaluation of the consistency of station-based soil moisture measurements with hydrological model and remote sensing observations over Turkey Bulut, Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) Soil moisture is a critical parameter for many subjects like climate, drought, water and energy balance, weather prediction; yet the number of studies involving soil moisture has been limited in Turkey. Soil moisture parameter can be obtained using several different methods. Among the values obtained via different methods, station-based observations have the greatest potential to provide the most accurate soil moisture information, even though station based observations have the representativeness errors ov...
Assessment of flash flood events using remote sensing and atmospheric model-derived precipitation in a hydrological model Yücel, İsmail (2011-07-07) Remotely-sensed precipitation estimates and regional atmospheric model precipitation forecasts provide rainfall data at high spatial and temporal resolutions with a large-scale coverage, and can therefore be potentially used for hydrological applications for making flash flood forecasts and warnings. This study investigates the performance of the rainfall products obtained from the Hydro Estimator (HE) algorithm of NOAA/NESDIS and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, and their use in a hydrolog...
