Distribution Of Extreme Wet And Dry Seasons (1967-2016) Along Mediterranean Coast, Turkey

Abstract

Climate change is defined as deviation of climatic conditions from average situation for long years. A lot of studies report that there would be an increase in extreme weather events together with climate change. One of regions where would be most affected by climate change in Turkey is Mediterranean Coasts. In this context, it is important to determine extreme climate seasons and to take the required precautions. In this study, seasonal SPI drought analyses within the period of last 50 years including 1967-2016 were carried out. In our study, data belonging to 15-meteorological stations located along Mediterranean Coasts were used. Findings obtained show that extreme climatic conditions are frequently experienced along Mediterranean Coasts. In other words, extreme wet or dry periods are experienced once every five years along Mediterranean Coasts. Results of this study show that drought tendency increased prominently along Mediterranean Coasts during Spring seasons, in particular.
