Determination of Spatial Distribution of Precipitation on Poorly Gauged Coastal Regions: Eastern Black Sea Region

Abstract

Determination of spatial distribution of precipitation has an importance in terms of hydrological applications and water resources assessment. Particularly, the effects of orography and coastline on precipitation distribution should be taken into account in mountainous and/or coastal regions. This necessity is complicated by the limited number of rain gauges which have also a nonhomogenous distribution. In this study, it is aimed to determine the spatial distribution of precipitation for the coastal part of the Eastern Black Sea Region. It can be said that this study is the first in terms of combination of precipitation distribution on both hillside and coastal part by using two different approaches. One of these approaches is the water balance that reflects the precipitation distribution on hillside. The other one depends on the regression equations which explains the precipitation variability on coastline and valleys, for the coastal part of the Eastern Black Sea Region.

Ölçümleri Az Olan Kıyı Bölgelerinde Yağışın Yerel Dağılımının Belirlenmesi: Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi

Abstract

Yağışın alandaki dağılımının belirlenmesi, hidrolojik uygulamaların ve su kaynaklarının doğru değerlendirilmesi açısından büyük önem taşır. Özellikle dağlık ve/veya kıyı bölgelerde hem orografiyi hem de kıyı etkilerini yağışın dağılımını belirlemede hesaba katmak gerekebilir. Bu gerekliliği, dağlık bölgelerde yağış gözlem istasyonlarının az ve düzensiz olması zorlaştırır. Bu çalışmada da, orografik yağış özelliği gösterdiği bilinen ve sınırlı sayıda yağış gözlem istasyonuna sahip Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesinin kıyı kesimi için yağış dağılımının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesinin kıyı kesimine ait yamaçlardaki yağış dağılımının temsilinde su dengesinin, kıyı ve vadilerdeki yağış dağılımının temsilinde ise regresyon denklemlerinin birleştirilerek kullanılması açısından bir ilktir.
