In this study, commonly used copula functions belonging to Archimedean and Elliptical families are fitted to the univariate cumulative distribution functions (CDF) of the drought characteristics duration (LD), average severity (S), and average areal extent (A) of droughts obtained using standardized precipitation index (SPI) between 1960 and 2013 over Ankara, Turkey. Probabilistic modeling of drought characteristics with seven different fitted copula functions and their comparisons with independently estimated empirical joint distributions show normal copula links drought characteristics better than other copula functions. On average, droughts occur with an average LD of 6.9 months, S of 0.94, and A of 73%, while such a drought event happens on average once in every 6.65 years. Results also show a very strong and statistically significant relation between S and A, and drought return periods are more sensitive to the unconditioned drought characteristic, while return periods decrease by adding additional variables to the analysis (i.e., trivariate drought analysis compared to bivariate).

Global spatiotemporal consistency between meteorological and soil moisture drought indices Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Bulut, B.; Düzenli, Eren; Amjad, M.; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2022-04-01) In this study, the consistency of a set of meteorological and soil moisture drought indices has been analyzed using the linear relationship between them. Commonly used Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) are compared to soil moisture drought index (SSMI) between the years 1981 and 2019. The most consistent meteorological drought index with SSMI has been selected as the best representative of it for 175,840 pixels, globally. Later, different c...
Risk-based reservoir operation under drought conditions Türkeri, Mustafa Kemal; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) This study introduces a practical drought risk assessment methodology for reservoirs and hydraulic structures, which can be used in basin drought risk management. Reservoir operation study is used as a main tool in the risk assessment methodology. The methodology developed in this study contains a probabilistic deficiency analysis approach for reservoir inflows. Different scenarios are developed which include hydrological deficiencies for various return periods. Developed scenarios are also modified for cli...
Land surface emissivity variations at infrared wavelengths for the selected regions in Turkey Akyüz, Berat; Esendemir, Akif; Department of Physics (2011) In this thesis, land surface emissivity variations are examined with respect to the land surface type, wavelength, and time (season and month) for the seven selected regions in Turkey using MODIS emissivity database and precipitation amount. Investigating land surface emissivity variations are important in many applications and it is known that studies about these variations are done for many regions except Turkey. This study is prior knowledge for Turkey to be used in infrared (IR) background models, surfa...
ASSESSING DROUGHT BY STANDARDIZED PRECIPITATION INDEX WITH OBSERVATION AND CORDEX DATA IN TURKEY’S MEDITERRANEAN REGION Poyraz, Anıl; Yücel, İsmail (2018-06-02) This study aims to assess the trends in drought by using the Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI) for 14 stations from Mediterranean climate region of Turkey. The SPI values for different timescales - from 1month to 1 year - are estimated for past and future by using the observed, uncorrected and bias corrected model data. The model data that correspond the grids which consist these 14 stations was obtained from 12 different climate models on CORDEX project. Bias correction method was applied using equival...
Detecting seasonal cycle shift on streamflow over Turkey by using multivariate statistical methods YILDIZ, DOĞAN; Gunes, Mehmet Samil; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya; Yildiz, Dursun (2018-08-01) Climate change analysis includes the study of several types of variables such as temperature, precipitation, carbon emission, and streamflow. In this study, we focus on basin hydrology and, in particular, on streamflow values. They are geographic and climatologic indicators utilized in the study of basins. We analyze these values to better understand monthly and seasonal change over a 40-year period for all basins in Turkey. Our study differs from others by applying multivariate analysis into the streamflow...
