Abstract

Çalışma, İç Anadolu Bölgesi’nin Konya Bölümü’nde yer alan Konya, Karaman, Aksaray ve Karapınar istasyonlarındaki egemen kurak dönemlerin, kuraklıkların başlangıç ve bitişleri ile şiddetlerinin Palmer Kuraklık Şiddet İndisi (PDSI) kullanılarak belirlenmesine yöneliktir. PDSI, yağış, buharlaşma-terleme ve toprak su tutma kapasitesini (tarla kapasitesi) girdi olarak kullanır. Buharlaşma-terleme tutarı, aylık ortalama sıcaklık ve toplam yağış değerlerinden yararlanarak Thornthwaite yöntemi ile hesaplandı. Bu çerçevede, önce, istasyon kayıtlarının başlangıcından 2006 yılına kadarki PDSI değerleri, aylık toplam yağış, toprak su tutma kapasitesi ve hesaplanan evapotranspirasyon değerleri kullanılarak hesaplandı. Aylık PDSI ve Nem Anomali İndisi zaman dizilerinin incelenmesi yoluyla ulaşılan başlıca sonuçlar şunlardır: (i) Dört istasyon için belirlenen ortak kurak dönemlerde yağışlarda gerçekleşen azalmalar, % 30 ile % 80 arasında değişir. Yağıştaki azalmalar, özellikle kış ve sonbahar mevsimlerinde daha belirgindir. (ii) Hem kullanılabilir su tutarı (P-PE) hem de PDSI zaman dizilerinin Mann-Kendall sıra ilişki katsayısı çözümlemesine göre, dizilerde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı herhangi bir eğilim bulunmamasına karşın, genel bir azalma eğiliminin varlığı (daha kurak koşullara doğru bir gidiş) belirgindir. (iii) 1972-1974 ve 1999-2001 kuraklıkları oldukça şiddetli yaşanmıştır

Abstract

The study aims to determine major drought periods, their starting and ending times and severity at Konya, Karaman, Aksaray and Karapınar stations over the Konya sub-region of the Central Anatolia Region, using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI). The PDSI is based on precipitation, evapotranspiration and available water capacity of the soil (field capacity). Amount of the evapotranspiration was computed by the Thornthwaite’s method making use of monthly mean temperature and precipitation totals. In this frame, first, monthly PDSI values were calculated by using monthly precipitation and calculated evapotranspiration totals and available water capacity of the soil for the period from beginning of the station records to 2006. Major results reached by examining monthly PDSI and Moisture Anomaly Index time-series are as follows: (i) Decreases in the precipitation amounts in the common periods determined for four stations vary between 30% and 80%. Decreases of the precipitation during these periods are more evident particularly in winter and autumn seasons. (ii) According to the analysis of the Mann-Kendall rank correlation coefficient performed for both usable water amount (P-PE) and the PDSI time-series, although there is no any statistically significant trend in these series, a general decreasing trend (i.e. a run towards the drier conditions) is evident. (iii) The drought events of 1972-1974 and 1999-2001 were considerable severe
