In the previous studies Poseidon Buoy data are used for both calibration and validation forthird generation wave models in Aegean Sea. However, due to spatial resolution limits(caused by huge computational time of wave model), there is problem with the bathymetry.This problem is caused by complex orography of Aegean Sea and existence of islands.Depth of Poseidon buoys are under 20m and it is not possible to obtain these depths forany of Poseidon buoys with a spatial resolution that is applicable for calibration. Depth ofbuoy is critical since it effects directly the calibration considering results of wave model andbuoy are taken for different depths.In this study, both Poseidon Buoy and Buoys of Turkish General Directorate of Meteorology(MGM) are used. MGM buoys started recording at 2015 March and they are stilloperational. Two of MGM buoys are located in Eastern Mediterranean which gives us thechance to make a calibration for eastern Mediterranean Sea. As far as our knowledge thereis no calibration study in eastern Mediterranean using buoy data. One of MGM Buoy at theAegean Sea is located at deeper location (70m depth) which provides healthier calibrationin Aegean Sea. In this conference the performance of Wavewatch III for January 2018Storm and December 2016 Storm will be discussed.

Calibration and evaluation of the 3rd generation wave models under extreme conditions in black sea basin Kirezci, Çağıl; Özyurt Tarakcıoğlu, Gülizar; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) In this study, performances of 3rd generation wave models, SWAN and WAVEWATCH III, under storm conditions in Black Sea are compared considering two different wind source (CFSR and ECMWF operational) data. Basic wave parameters (outputs of the spectral wave models) demonstrate that the governing physical processes in deep water consist of three terms; wind-wave interaction, dissipation of energy due to whitecapping and swell, and nonlinear wave-wave interactions. Effects of different methodologies for the so...
Calibration and evaluation of wavewatch III under extreme conditions in Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean Sea Basin Bingöl, Cem; Özyurt Tarakcıoğlu, Gülizar; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In this study, performance of WAVEWATCH III under extreme waves in Eastern Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea is assessed using Climate Forecast System Reanalysis wind data. Best source term is selected from all five source terms that is available in WAVEWATCH III for representation of wind waves in the region. Calibration of the selected source term is conducted for Aegean Sea and Turkish Coast of Mediterranean Sea. Three new Turkish State Meteorological Service buoys are utilized in the study which were nev...
Calibration and evaluation of a flood forecasting system: Utility of numerical weather prediction model, data assimilation and satellite-based rainfall Yücel, İsmail; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (2015-04-01) A fully-distributed, multi-physics, multi-scale hydrologic and hydraulic modeling system, WRF-Hydro, is used to assess the potential for skillful flood forecasting based on precipitation inputs derived from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the EUMETSAT Multi-sensor Precipitation Estimates (MPEs). Similar to past studies it was found that WRF model precipitation forecast errors related to model initial conditions are reduced when the three dimensional atmospheric data assimilation (3DVAR)...
Determination of the dynamic characteristics and local site conditions of the plio-quarternary sediments situated towards the north of Ankara through surface wave testing methods Eker, Arif Mert; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2009) The purpose of this study is to assess the engineering geological and geotechnical characteristics and to perform seismic hazard studies of the Upper Pliocene to Quaternary (Plio-Quaternary) deposits located towards the north of Ankara through surface wave testing methods. Based on a general engineering geological and seismic site characterization studies, site classification systems are assigned in seismic hazard assessments. The objective of the research is to determine the regional and local seismic soil...
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...
