Snow hydrology has been a relatively less investigated part of the hydrologic cycle. In the last two decades there has been a growing interest and scientific research to study the role of melting snow fbr the estimation of runoff mainly contributing to the storage in large reservoirs and to make the procedure operational on a real time basis. The paper describes a project related to satellite snow cover mapping and snowmelt runoff computations, which is currently carried out in eastern Turkey.

Analysis of drought events in North Cyprus Khan, Sana; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2019-9) Drought is a temporary climatic condition which arises due to lack of precipitation. It has become an important natural phenomenon for North Cyprus due to its semi-arid climate and with vulnerabilities culminating as a result of climate change there is a dire need to keep a good track of such extreme climate events for sustainable water resource management. The island is facing serious water shortages, and for Mediterranean region climate change impacts on water resources has become a pressing issue, hence,...
Analysis of future climate change impacts on snow distribution over mountainous watersheds in Northern California by means of a physically-based snow distribution model Ishida, K.; Ercan, Ali; Trinh, T.; Kavvas, M. L.; Ohara, N.; Carr, K.; Anderson, M. L. (2018-12-01) The impacts of climate change on snow distribution through the 21st century were investigated over three mountainous watersheds in Northern California by means of a physically-based snow distribution model. The future climate conditions during a 90-year future period from water year 2010 to 2100 were obtained from 13 future climate projection realizations from two GCMs (ECHAM5 and CCSM3) based on four SRES scenarios (A1B, A1FI, A2, and B1). The 13 future climate projection realizations were dynamically down...
Assessment of different rainfall products in flood simulations Özkaya, Arzu; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) Floods happening due to heavy rainfall are one of the most widespread natural hazards. To predict such events, accurate rainfall products and well calibrated hydrologic models are essential especially in urban settlements for life savings. With the objective of assessing the rain detection potential of rainfall data products, several hourly rainfall datasets are used as forcing inputs in two hydrologic models. Physic based distributed model, WRF-Hydro, and conceptual based lumped model, HEC HMS, are used to...
Monitoring the snow covered Areas from NOAA AVHRR images in the Eastern Part of Turkey Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2002-04-01) Monitoring snow-covered areas and estimating the snow water equivalent play an important role in predicting discharges during spring months, especially in regions where snow is an important resource.^This study has been conducted in the Upper Euphrates River basin, of 10 200 knr area, and elevation range of 1125— 3500 m. In estimating snow-covered areas, besides semi-supervised multispectral classification of NOAA-AVHRR data, a theta algorithm, developed by the US National Weather Service, has been used. Th...
Assessment of changes in climate indices of the mediterranean climate region of Turkey Çetinkaya , İzem; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-10-28) As a consequence of climate change, frequency and intensity changes in extreme weather events have occurred. One of the most vulnerable regions of the world that is affected by the climate change is the Mediterranean region. Turkey as a Mediterranean country has a great importance to investigate the changes in climate behavior. 57 stations from Mediterranean climate region of Turkey have been selected as the study area for this thesis. This study aims to assess the climate indices that carry the valua...
