A major project, called the NATO TU-WAVES Project, which aims to find out the wave climate affecting the whole Black Sea as well as the Turkish coasts on other seas, is being carried out since the beginning of 1994 within the framework of the NATO SfS Program-Phase III. The main objectives of this project are to obtain detailed knowledge on and to establish a reliable data bank of wind waves affecting the whole Black Sea and the other Turkish coasts, to implement a third generation wave model for the seas surrounding Turkey, and to construct a wave atlas for the Black Sea and the other Turkish coasts. The "Black-Sea Wave Atlas", which is expected to be ready by the end of 1998, will provide accurate and reliable information on sea state parameters needed for most coastal and marine activities. In addition to METU-KLARE, the lead organization, three Turkish organizations and eight other institutes from four Black Sea riparian countries (Bulgaria, Rumania, Russia and Ukraine) are collaborating within the framework of the NATO TU-WAVES Project. This paper briefly describes this project and the progress of its activities.

Water Exchange through Canal İstanbul and Bosphorus Strait Sözer, Adil; Ozsoy, E. (National Documentation Centre (EKT), 2017-2-13) The Turkish Straits System (TSS) regulates the transports of water, material and energy between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Amidst existing environmental threats to the region surrounding I.stanbul, the environmental footprint of the proposed Canal I.stanbul project needs to be evaluated through methods of natural science. We take the elementary step to answer the particular problem of coupled strait dynamics by adding the Canal to an existing hydrodynamic model and estimate changes in their co...
Dynamics of High Energy Environment: Processes at the Turkish Strait System (DEEP) Sannıno, Gianmaria; Sözer, Adil; Delfantı, Roberta; Tuğrul, Süleyman; Özsoy, Emin(2015) The Turkish Straits System (TSS) controls the exchange between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. A sound understanding of the circulation and transport mechanisms of this complex system depends on a series of experimental investigations and modelling development that have been carried out. We focus on the characterization of the exchange through the TSS, the influence on the adjacent seas and in particular, the ventilation of the Black Sea by the effluent of Mediterranean water exiting the TSS. Exper...
Wave climate study for an LNG terminal near Marmara Ereglisi, Turkey Akyarli, Adnan; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (1997-01-01) A liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal has been constructed near Marmara Ereglisi - a coastal town located at the northern coast of the Sea of Marmara in Turkey - to unload imported LNG from Algeria. Regarding the wave related issues in the design of the terminal and offshore operations, a wave climate study - comprising direct wave measurements carried out by a directional type wave buoy during one year period and hindcasting studies based on ten years of hourly wind data recorded at Tekirdag meteorologica...
Water scenarios for Europe and for Neighbouring States (SCENES) Çakmak, Erol Hasan(2011-4-30) The SCENES project will develop and analyse a set of comprehensive scenarios of Europe's freshwater futures up to 2025, covering all of Greater Europe reaching to the Caucasus and Ural Mountains, and including the Mediterranean rim countries of north Africa and the near East. These scenarios will provide a reference point for long term strategic planning of European water resource development, alert policymakers and stakeholders about emerging problems, and allow river basin managers to test regional and lo...
EUNIS HABITAT CLASSIFICATION OF A POTENTIAL MPA SILE TURKEY WESTERN BLACK SEA Topaloğlu, Bülent; Topçu Eryalçın, Nur Eda; Tezcan, Devrim; Öztürk, Bayram (null; 2016-10-12) Sile region was the Pilot Project (PP) area of the EU -FP7 project, CoCoNet and proposed as one of the potential MPAs along the Turkish Black Sea coast. This study aimed to describe the habitat types according to EUNIS. Three coastal and 12 marine habitats were determined along the coasts and littoral zone of Sile PP area.
