Potential soil acidification impacts of a proposed natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant were assessed using an integrated approach coupling an atmospheric deposition model with soil acidification quantification. The deposition model was used to estimate the rates of nitrogen oxide (NOx) deposition on the air-soil boundary. The expected changes in the soil column were then predicted by utilizing mechanistic and experimental methods, and the number of years required to reach critical pH values were predicted using the two methods mentioned above under different rates of acidic deposition. The number of years predicted by the mechanistic modeling approach was lower for all soils exhibiting calcareous character.

Simulation of event-based snowmelt runoff hydrographs based on snow depletion curves and the degree-day method Sensoy, A; Tekeli, AE; Forman, AA; Sorman, AU (Informa UK Limited, 2003-12-01) In mountainous regions, runoff from snowmelt is an important hydrologic and economic factor, and therefore early runoff forecasting brings significant advantages to the planning and operation of water resources systems. Similarly, predicting runoff from snowmelt during spring months in the eastern part of Turkey, where most of the water originates from high mountains and contributes to the large dams on the Euphrates River, is of crucial importance. In this study, an event-type, physically based hydrologic ...
Evaluation of Remotely-Sensed and Model-Based Soil Moisture Products According to Different Soil Type, Vegetation Cover and Climate Regime Using Station-Based Observations over Turkey Bulut, Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Sorman, A. Unal; Yücel, İsmail; Cosh, Michael H.; Simsek, Osman (MDPI AG, 2019-08-01) This study evaluates the performance of widely-used remotely sensed- and model-based soil moisture products, including: The Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT), the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative (ESA-CCI), the Antecedent Precipitation Index (API), and the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS-NOAH). Evaluations are performed between 2008 and 2011 against the calibrated station-based soil moisture observations coll...
Evaluation of SeaWiFS chlorophyll-a in the Black and Mediterranean seas Sancak, S; Besiktepe, ST; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Lee, M; Frouin, R (Informa UK Limited, 2005-05-20) The performance of NASA's OC2 and OC4 algorithms to estimate chlorophyll-a concentrations from SeaWiFS radiometric measurements on the global scale was tested in two contrasted bio-optical environments, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The in situ bio-optical measurements were made during October 1999 at 25 stations. Comparisons of the in situ measurements with the concurrent SeaWiFS retrievals indicate that the OC2 and OC4 algorithms are not working satisfactorily in both seas. Case 2 waters domina...
Evaluating a mesoscale atmosphere model and a satellite-based algorithm in estimating extreme rainfall events in northwestern Turkey Yücel, İsmail (Copernicus GmbH, 2014-01-01) Quantitative precipitation estimates are obtained with more uncertainty under the influence of changing climate variability and complex topography from numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. On the other hand, hydrologic model simulations depend heavily on the availability of reliable precipitation estimates. Difficulties in estimating precipitation impose an important limitation on the possibility and reliability of hydrologic forecasting and early warning systems. This study examines the performance o...
Evaluation of GPM-era Global Satellite Precipitation Products over Multiple Complex Terrain Regions Derin, Yagmur; Anagnostou, Emmanouil; Berne, Alexis; Borga, Marco; Boudevillain, Brice; Buytaert, Wouter; Chang, Che-Hao; Chen, Haonan; Delrieu, Guy; Hsu, Yung Chia; Lavado-Casimiro, Waldo; Manz, Bastian; Moges, Semu; Nikolopoulos, Efthymios I.; Sahlu, Dejene; Salerno, Franco; Rodriguez-Sanchez, Juan-Pablo; Vergara, Humberto J.; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (MDPI AG, 2019-12-02) The great success of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and its successor Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) has accelerated the development of global high-resolution satellite-based precipitation products (SPP). However, the quantitative accuracy of SPPs has to be evaluated before using these datasets in water resource applications. This study evaluates the following GPM-era and TRMM-era SPPs based on two years (2014-2015) of reference daily precipitation data from rain gauge networks in te...
