Snowmelt runoff in the mountainous eastern part of Turkey is of great importance as it constitutes 60-70% in volume of the total yearly runoff during spring and early summer months. Therefore, determining the amount and timing of snowmelt runoff especially in the Euphrates basin, where large clams are located, is ail important tusk in order to use the water resources of the country in an optimal manner.

Use of satellite observed seasonal snow cover in hydrological modeling and snowmelt runoff prediction in upeer euphrates basin, Turkey
Şorman, Ali Arda; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
Snowmelt runoff in the mountainous eastern part of Turkey is of great importance as it constitutes 60-70% in volume of the total yearly runoff during spring and early summer months. Therefore, forecasting the amount and timing of snowmelt runoff especially in the Euphrates Basin, where large dams are located, is an important task in order to use the water resources of the country in an optimum manner. The HBV model, being one of the well-known conceptual hydrological models used more than 45 countries over ...
Climate change impacts on meteorological drought using SPI and SPEI: case study of Ankara, Turkey
MEHR, ALI DANANDEH; Sorman, Ali Unal; Kahya, Ercan; Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı (Informa UK Limited, 2019-11-27)
Using regionally downscaled and adjusted outputs of three global climate models (GCMs), meteorological drought analysis was accomplished across Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. To this end, standardized precipitation index (SPI) and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) were projected under (representative concentration pathway) RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 greenhouse gas scenarios. In general, our results show that Ankara experienced six severe and two extreme drought events during the referen...
Modelling the temporal variation in snow-covered area derived from satellite images for simulating/forecasting of snowmelt runoff in Turkey
Tekeli, AE; Akyurek, Z; Sensoy, A; Sorman, AA; Sorman, U (Informa UK Limited, 2005-08-01)
Monitoring the change of snow-covered area (SCA) in a basin is vitally important for optimum operation of water resources, where the main contribution comes from snowmelt. A methodology for obtaining the depletion pattern of SCA, which is based on satellite image observations where mean daily air temperature is used, is applied for the 1997 water year and tested for the 1998 water year. The study is performed at the Upper Euphrates River basin in Turkey (10 216 km(2)). The major melting period in this basin...
Winter Climate Shapes Spring Phytoplankton Development in Non-Ice-Covered Lakes: Subtropical Lake Taihu as an Example
Deng, Jianming; Zhang, Wei; Qin, Boqiang Q.; Zhang, Yunlin; Salmaso, Nico; Jeppesen, Erik (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020-09-01)
Winter warming plays a vital role in spring phytoplankton community succession in temperate lakes due to variation of ice cover duration in winter. How winter conditions affect spring phytoplankton in subtropical lakes without winter ice cover is, however, largely unknown. In this study, covering 26 years, we elucidated the effects of both climate conditions and nutrient levels in winter on the phytoplankton community (expressed as Morpho-Functional Groups) in spring in Lake Taihu, a large shallow subtropic...
Estimation of river flow by artificial neural networks and identification of input vectors susceptible to producing unreliable flow estimates
Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-15)
Reliable river flow estimates are crucial for appropriate water resources planning and management. River flow forecasting can be conducted by conceptual or physical models, or data-driven black box models. Development of physically-based models requires an understanding of ail the physical processes which impact a natural process and the interactions among them. Since identification of the relationships among these physical processes is very difficult, data-driven approaches have recently been utilized in h...
