This study aims to investigate climate change effect on precipitation, temperature and discharge in Havran basin which has thousands of decares of agricultural lands. Changes in precipitation and temperature were determined using 10 global climate models (GCMs) for total precipitation and 13 GCMs for average temperature from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) for the historical period, SSP2-4.5 (moderate-case) and SSP5-8.5 (worst-case) scenarios. Both station observations and ERA5-Land reanalysis datasets are employed for bias correction of the GCM data with Quantile Mapping (QM), Quantile Delta Mapping (QDM) and Detrended Quantile Mapping (DQM) methods. Performance evaluation of bias corrected GCM data is conducted to demonstrate both model and bias correction performance for individual models and ensemble means. QDM and DQM outperform the QM method. QDM method is chosen for further evaluation. The resulting data is employed in GR2M hydrological model for the calculation of monthly discharge. The hydrological modeling is performed for five subbasins of Havran basin with ensemble means and individual models. The resulting precipitation, temperature and discharge were subjected to trend analysis in the historical period (1975-2014), near future period (2015-2044), mid future period (2045-2074) and far future period (2075-2100) for both scenarios. According to the results, there is an increasing trend in temperature in all parts of the basin for both SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios for all future periods where the increase is estimated to be up to 5oC by the end of the century. The worst-case scenario indicates there will be a 120 mm decrease in precipitation by the end of the century. Overall precipitation in the basin is decreasing however changes in the precipitation are not statistically significant. Consequently, discharge in the basin shows decreasing characteristics with up to % 36 decrease by the end of the century in the worst-case scenario.

The role of local governments in clima techange adaptation: achievements and barriers in the turkish case Özdemir Eroğlu, Gülin.; Balaban, Osman; Department of Earth System Science (2019) Global warming is manifesting visible consequences at regional and local scales. Cities are considered among major contributors of climate change while also being a victim of it. It is vital to anticipate the adverse impacts of climate change in cities and take appropriate actions to prevent or minimize the damage they may be exposed. The Mediterranean Basin, in which Turkey is located, is one of the regions with the highest vulnerability to climate change. Turkey’s First National Communication on Climate C...
Future climate change impact assessment of watershed scale hydrologic processes in Peninsular Malaysia by a regional climate model coupled with a physically-based hydrology modelo Amin, M. Z. M.; Shaaban, A. J.; Ercan, Ali; Ishida, K.; Kavvas, M. L.; Chen, Z. Q.; Jang, S. (2017-01-01) Impacts of climate change on the hydrologic processes under future climate change conditions were assessed over Muda and Dungunwatersheds of PeninsularMalaysia bymeans of a coupled regional climate and physically- based hydrology model utilizing an ensemble of future climate change projections. An ensemble of 15 different future climate realizations from coarse resolution global climate models' (GCMs) projections for the 21st century was dynamically downscaled to 6 km resolution over Peninsular Malaysia by ...
Investigating the effects of climate change on the surface runoff potential over Kızılırmak basin Barkış, Numan Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-9-2) The aim of this study is to analyze the expected change in the surface runoff potential that will occur due to climate change in the Kızılırmak Basin until 2100. HBV hydrological model was run in this study to investigate the expected change in 3 sub-basins (SB 1535, SB 1541, and SB 1545) of Kızılırmak Basin. Total of 56 CMIP5-based GCM/RCM daily model datasets, downloaded from CORDEX EUR-11 at 0.110 spatial resolution and reflect RCP 8.5 emission scenario, were utilized. Among these model datasets, 10 of t...
Intercomparison of the expected change in the temperature and the precipitation retrieved from CMIP6 and CMIP5 climate projections: A Mediterranean hot spot case, Turkey Bağçacı, Soner Çağatay; Yücel, İsmail; Düzenli, Eren; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2021-07-01) The performances of a large number of Global Circulation Models (GCMs) belonging to the latest release the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6) in comparison with its predecessor CMIP5 are evaluated for monthly precipitation and temperature over Turkey (i.e. climate change hotspot). The ensemble of best top four models from both CMIP simulations is also used to investigate the future climate change under medium and high emissions for short, medium, and long terms. Results show CMIP6 product...
Inter-comparison of statistical downscaling methods for projection of extreme flow indices across Europe Hundecha, Yeshewatesfa; Sunyer, Maria A.; Lawrence, Deborah; Madsen, Henrik; Willems, Patrick; Buerger, Gerd; Kriauciuniene, Jurate; Loukas, Athanasios; Martinkova, Marta; Osuch, Marzena; Vasiliades, Lampros; Von Christierson, Birgitte; Vormoor, Klaus; Yücel, İsmail (2016-10-01) The effect of methods of statistical downscaling of daily precipitation on changes in extreme flow indices under a plausible future climate change scenario was investigated in 11 catchments selected from 9 countries in different parts of Europe. The catchments vary from 67 to 6171 km(2) in size and cover different climate zones. 15 regional climate model outputs and 8 different statistical downscaling methods, which are broadly categorized as change factor and bias correction based methods, were used for th...
