Potential source regions of trace elements and major ions measured in the Mediterranean atmosphere were investigated by combining trajectory statistics with emission data reported in the literature. The frequency of air mass transport from different wind sectors was investigated at three selected sites in the eastern Mediterranean, western Mediterranean and Black Sea basins. The upper air mass movements showed fairly similar general features at all three sites, with very small eastern, southeastern and southern components. In all three sites, the dominant flows were from the western, northwestern and northern sectors. Although the general features of the upper air climatology were fairly similar in the western Mediterranean, eastern Mediterranean, and the Black Sea, there were small differences in the flow patterns in each subregion. There were small but statistically significant differences between summer and winter flow patterns. However, these differences were not large enough to explain the consistent seasonal differences in the concentrations of trace elements and major ions reported in the literature. The potential source regions of elements and ions were determined taking into account the residence times of air masses eventually reaching the three sub-basins and emissions. The potential source regions affecting pollutant concentrations in the western Mediterranean are distincly different from the source regions affecting the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea atmospheres. The comparison of potential source regions with those determined experimentally demonstrated that the wet and dry depositions of pollutants during transport from their source regions to the three sub-basins have a profound influence on their observed concentrations in the receptor areas.

Batı Karadeniz aerosolunun zamansal değişiminin değerlendirilmesi
Genç Tokgöz, Derya Deniz; Balcılar, İlker; İlhan, Ali İhsan; Balta, Tülay; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (null; 2017-11-03)
Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin Batı Karadeniz bölgesinde Kırklareli toplanan partikül madde örneklerinin kimyasal kompozisyonu kullanılarak konsantrasyonlardaki zamansal değişiklikleri ve ölçülen konsantrasyonları etkileyen faktörleri belirlenmiştir. Partikül madde (PM) örnekleri Kırklareli ili kırsalında konuşlandırılmış bir istasyonda (41o 57.996'K, 27o 23.670'D) toplanmıştır. İstasyonun denize uzaklığı yaklaşık olarak 50 km, Bulgaristan sınırına uzaklığı ise 5 km’dir. İstasyonun bulunduğu 50 km’lik çapta herh...
Doğu Akdeniz bölgesindeki aerosollerin iklimsel önemi
Kubilay, Nilgün; Koçak, Mustafa(2009)
The current study considers the spatial and temporal variability in aerosol water soluble ions (Na+ , NH4 + , K+ , Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl- , NO3 - , SO4 2-, C2O4 2 ) concentrations and aerosol optical measurements in the eastern Mediterranean, utilizing an extensive data library collected in 2003 at two stations along the Turkish (Erdemli) and Cretan (Finokalia) coastline. In addition, aerosol samples were collected aboard the research vessel’s BILIM II cruising the eastern Mediterranean, Aegean Sea, the Sea of Mar...
Composition of atmosphere at the Central Anatolia
Yörük, Ebru; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2004)
Concentrations of elements and ions measured in samples collected between February 1993 and December 2000 at a rural site in central Anatolia were investigated to evaluate the chemical composition of atmosphere at central Anatolia, to determine pollution level of the region, to study temporal variability of the pollutants and to investigate the sources and source regions of air pollutants in the region. Level of pollution at central Anatolia was found to be lower than the pollution level at other European c...
Principal component and time series analysis of air-sea interactions in the "seas of the old world"
Gündüz, Murat; Özsoy, Emin; Graduate School of Marine Sciences (2002)
Climate data on surface atmospheric variables, sea surface temperature and computed air-sea fluxes are analysed to describe comparative surface climatolo gies of the 'Seas of the Old World' (Black, Caspian and Mediterranean Seas) and to investigate their interannual and interdecadal variability. Based on these analyses, differences and similarities between climates of these basins and their relationships to other global systems are identified. Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) Analysis is used to study sp...
Calibration and Evaluation of WRF-Hydro Modeling System for Extreme Runoff Simulations: Use of High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Data
Kılıçarslan, Berina Mina; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2)
This study investigates the impact of the spatio-temporal accuracy of four different sea surface temperature (SST) datasets on the accuracy of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Hydro system to simulate hydrological response during two catastrophic flood events over the Eastern Black Sea (EBS) and the Mediterranean (MED) regions of Turkey. Three daily-updated and high spatial resolution external SST products (GHRSST, Medspiration, and NCEP-SST) and one coarse-resolution and time-invariant SST produc...
