2006 yılında İTÜ Meteoroloji Mühendisliği bölümünden mezun oldum. Aynı yılın Aralık ayında DSİ Edirne 11. Bölge Müdürlüğü'nde göreve başladım. DSİ Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından her yıl düzenlenmekte olan Hidroloji ve Rasatlar hakkındaki seminerlere düzenli olarak katıldım. Özgün çalışmalarım ve yeni teknolojilerin kullanılması hakkında uygulamalı eğitimler verdim. İşimin niteliği gereği arazi çalışmalarında Su Ölçüm Teknisyenlerinden oluşan ekibimle beraber çok sayıda Akım Gözlem(AGİ) ve Meteoroloji Gözlem İstasyonu (MGİ) kurdum. Bakım-Onarım ve işletmesinde görev aldım. Kuruluşumuz sorumluluk sahasında yer alan AGİ (33 adet) ve MGİ'yi (24 adet) uzaktan erişimli hale getirdim.
Göreve başladığımdan 2006 yılı sonundan beri, Hidrometrik ve Hidrometeorolojik Büro çalışmaları (sahadan alınan verilerin kontrolü, arşivlenmesi, SVT’ye veri girişleri ve hidrometrik değerlendirmelerin yapılması) tarafımdan yapılmıştır.
Ulusal ve uluslararası düzeyde çok sayıda toplantıda, DSİ adına Türkçe ve/veya İngilizce sunum yaptım. Bunların önemli bir kısmı Türkiye’nin sınıraşan suları ile ilgili teknik işbirliği toplantılarıdır. Özellikle Bulgaristan ve Yunanistan teknik heyetleri ile beraber organize edilen toplantılara katıldım, karar alma süreçlerinde bizzat bulundum.
2015 yılında İslam İşbirliği Teşkilatı- DSİ Genel Müdürlüğü işbirliği ile ilgili ‘Hidroloji’de İstatistiksel Metodlar’ konulu bir eğitim ile ilgili Filistin Devleti Su Kurumuna Eğitim personeli olarak gittim.
2015 yılında yine İstanbul Su Ensitüsü’nde İslam İşbirliği Teşkilatı-DSİ Genel Müdürlüğü işbirliği ile ilgili ‘Hidroloji’de İstatistiksel Metodlar’ konulu bir eğitim ile ilgili Bangladeş ve Gambiya Devletleri Su Teşkilatları personeline eğitim vermek üzere görevlendirildim. 2018 yılında DSİ adına Dünya Meteoroloji Örgütü (WMO) Hidrolojik İşbirliği toplantısına katıldım. 

2015 yılında İTÜ Meteoroloji Mühendisliği bölümü'nde Yüksek Lisans eğitimimi tamamladım. Ardından 2017 yılında yine aynı bölümde Doktora eğitimime başladım. 2023 yılı itibari ile doktora eğitimimi tamamladım. 

2019 yılı Mayıs ayında Samsun Üniversitesi Meteoroloji Mühendisliği bölümünde Öğretim Görevlisi olarak göreve başladım. 2024 yılı başından beri aynı bölümde Doktor Öğretim Üyesi olarak çalışmaya başladım. Bölümümüzde güz ve bahar yarıyıllarında lisans düzeyinde dersler veriyorum. Verdiğim derslerden bazıları, Atmosfer Bilimlerine Giriş, Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri, Hidrometri, Meteorolojide Bilgisayar Uygulamaları'dır.

The Journal of Atmosphere and Climate (ATİK) publishes with the aim of following research and developments in the fields of Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, Climate and Hydrology, making scientific contributions to these fields and presenting a qualified resource.

The journal is published twice a year, in June and December, and the language of writing is Turkish. It is also open to articles in English from foreign scientists, and these articles can be published with an extended Turkish abstract. As per the adopted open access policy, all published studies can be accessed via the journal's website. In addition, research and review articles are included in the journal.

• Research Article: These are articles that reflect an original research with its findings and results. The study must definitely contribute to science.
• Review Article: These are articles that review a sufficient number of scientific articles, summarize the subject at the level of today's knowledge and technology, evaluate it, and compare and interpret the findings.

During the evaluation phase, double-blind peer review is applied, where the reviewers and authors do not see each other's names, and a maximum of 20% similarity rate is sought in the similarity scan conducted via intihal.net.

Scientific studies sent to the journal must not have been presented or published anywhere before. In addition, authors accept that they transfer the copyright of their articles to the publisher by sending their work to the journal.

To submit an article to the journal;

1) First, fill out the Copyright and Author Agreement document.

2) Download the Journal Template File and write your article in accordance with the instructions on this template and send it to the journal as a Microsoft Word file (doc or docx). Due to the double-blind peer review application, where reviewers and authors do not see each other's names, the article should not contain information such as the name, institution, e-mail and ORCID number of the authors, and the names and file properties of the article and attachments to be uploaded to the system at all stages should not include any information about the authors. Author information will only be added during the publication process after the article is accepted.

3) References must be created in APA style, and a source management program such as Zotero, Endnote or Mendeley can be used for this purpose.

Sena Çağla APAYDIN İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi

20 Mayıs 1997'de İstanbul'da doğdum. İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi'nde Meteoroloji Mühendisliği lisans eğitimimi tamamladıktan sonra, aynı üniversitenin Atmosfer Bilimleri yüksek lisans programına kabul edildim ve şu anda tez çalışmamı sürdürmekteyim. Yüksek lisans derecemi 2025'te almayı planlıyorum.

Devlet Su İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü'ndeki stajımda saha çalışmalarına katılarak akış hızı, derinlik ölçümleri ve kuraklık analizleri üzerine çalıştım. Lisans tezimde Avrupa'da gözlemlenen sting jet olaylarını inceledim, yüksek lisans tez çalışmamda ise Türkiye'deki bulutluluk analizine odaklanıyorum. Ayrıca meteorolojik uydu verileri üzerine devam eden projelerde yer alıyorum.

Akademik yaşamım dışında ulusal ve uluslararası etkinliklerde organizasyon komitelerinde görev aldım ve takım projelerinde liderlik yaptım. Meteorolojik verilerin analizine yönelik Fortran gibi ileri düzey programlama dillerinde çalışmalar yaptım ve bu yeteneklerimi sürekli olarak geliştirmekteyim. Teknik becerilerimin yanı sıra, ileri düzey İngilizce bilgimle uluslararası platformlarda da aktif bir şekilde yer alıyorum.
