Yayın Akdağ Kütlesi’nde (Batı Toroslar) Pleistosen buzullaşmalarının jeomorfolojik özellikleri ve optik uyarmalı lüminesans (OSL) ile yaşlandırılması(Türk Coğrafya Kurumu, 2017) Bayrakdar, Cihan; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Turoğlu, Hüseyin; Öztürk, Tuğba; Canel, TimurBatı Torosların en yüksek ikinci zirvesine (Uyluk T. 3014 m) sahip olan Akdağ, batıda Eşen Ovası (60 m) doğuda Elmalı Ovası (1100 m) arasında yer alan ve 2700 m üzerinde birçok zirve barındıran, çevresine göre oldukça yüksek bir kütle görünümündedir. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde Kuvaterner'de meydana gelen buzul şekillerini incelemek ve OSL ile tarihlendirmek çalışmanın temel amacıdır. Bu çalışmada coğrafi bilgi sistemleri ve morfometrik analizler, OSL tarihlendirme yöntemi ve sedimantolojik analizlerden faydalanılmıştır. Akdağ Kütlesi'nin jeomorfolojik gelişiminde birden fazla etken ve sürecin rolü olmuştur. Bu süreçlerin başında karst, buzul, tektonik ve flüviyal gelmektedir. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde etkili olan Pleistosen buzullaşmaları, büyük ölçüde karstik yapıya uyumlu gelişmiş ve 2500 m ve üzerindeki paleo-karstik depresyonlarda kalın plato buzulları oluşmuştur. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde üçü büyük, beş buzul vadisi tespit edilmiştir. Bu buzul vadileri gelişmiş sirklerle başlayıp 2500 m seviyelerinde paleokarstik depresyonlara uyumlu olarak düşük eğimli, geniştabanlı ve büyük ölçüde taban ve yanal morenleri ile kaplı iken 2500 m seviyelerinden sonra vadiler daralıp klasik tekne vadi formu alıp 2000 m seviyelerinde cephe morenleri ile sonlanırlar. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde morenlerden alınan örneklere ait OSL tarihlendirmelerinde 17-21 bin yaşları çıkmıştır ki bu da son buzul dönemi MIS 2 ye denk gelmektedir.Yayın RegCM4.3.5 Bölgesel iklim modelini kullanarak Türkiye ve çevresi bölgelerin yakın gelecekteki hava sıcaklığı ve yağış klimatolojileri için öngörülen değişikliklerin incelenmesi(Ege Üniversitesi, 2014-06-01) Turp, Mustafa Tufan; Öztürk, Tuğba; Türkeş, Murat; Kurnaz, Mehmet LeventBu çalışmada 1970 – 2000 referans dönemi iklimine göre 2020 – 2050 dönemi için Türkiye’nin ortalama hava sıcaklığı ve yağış klimatolojilerinde öngörülen değişiklikler, bölgesel iklim modeli benzetimleri kullanılarak araştırıldı. Yakın gelecekteki iklim koşullarında öngörülen değişimleri incelemek için Uluslararası Teorik Fizik Merkezi’ne ait olan RegCM4.3.5 isimli bölgesel iklim modeli üç farklı küresel modelden yararlanılarak koşuldu. Max Planck Meteoroloji Enstitüsü’ne ait MPI-ESM-MR, Met Office Hadley Merkezi’ne ait HadGEM2 ve Amerikan Ulusal Okyanus ve Atmosfer Dairesi Jeofiziksel Akışkanlar Dinamiği Laboratuvarı’na ait GFDL-ESM2M modelleri Türkiye ve çevresi için dinamik olarak 50 km’ye alt ölçeklendirildi. Öngörüler, Hükümetlerarası İklim Değişikliği Paneli’nin (IPCC) RCP4.5 ve RCP8.5 salım senaryolarına göre gerçekleştirildi. Model sonuçlarına göre, Türkiye’de ortalama hava sıcaklıklarında 1970 – 2000 dönemine göre 2020 – 2050 döneminde 0.5 °C ile 4 °C arasında değişen artışlar olacaktır. Bu artış, sıcak mevsimlerde soğuk mevsimlere göre daha fazla olacaktır. Türkiye’nin yağış klimatolojisinde ise, bölgesel iklim modeli sonuçlarına göre, özellikle ülkenin Akdeniz ikliminin egemen olduğu batı ve güney bölgelerinde ve tüm mevsimlerde, yaklaşık 0.4 mm/gün ile 1.2 mm/gün arasında değişen belirgin yağış azalışlarının oluşması beklenir.Yayın RegCM4.3.5 İklim modeli benzetimleri kullanılarak Türkiye'nin gelecek hava sıcaklığı ve yağış klimatolojilerindeki değişikliklerin çözümlenmesi(Ege Üniversitesi, 2011-06-01) Öztürk, Tuğba; Türkeş, Murat; Kurnaz, Mehmet LeventBu çalışmada 1970-2000 dönemi günümüz iklimine göre 2070-2100 dönemi için Türkiye’nin ortalama hava sıcaklığı ve yağış klimatolojilerindeki değişikler, bölgesel iklim modeli simülasyonları (benzetim) kullanılarak öngörüldü. Günümüz ve gelecek iklim koşullarının model kestirimlerinin yapılması için, International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) bölgesel iklim modeli RegCM4.3.5 kullanıldı.

Changes were calculated for 2071-2100 relative to 1971-2000. Climate simulations were obtained by downscaling the RegCM4.3.5 to 50 km resolution under RCP4.5 and 8.5 with HadGEM2-ES and MPI-ESM-MR. The results indicate that the Central Asian domain will experience warmer and more extreme temperatures with increasing radiative forcing. The annual lowest value of minimum daily temperature was simulated to increase remarkably, up to 8 degrees, especially in high latitudes, with a more than 12 degree increase projected over Siberia. A strong growth in the percentage of warm nights and an increase in the days of warm spells for the whole region, with a decrease in cold spell duration, are anticipated. Model results show an expected reduction of up to 30% in precipitation totals over the domain, except for the increased precipitation over Siberia, the Himalayas, and Tibetan Plateau. Extreme precipitation events are projected to have an increase of 20% over the whole domain, with an 80% increase over high topographical areas.Yayın Projected changes in extreme temperature and precipitation indices over CORDEX-MENA domain(MDPI AG, 2021-05) Öztürk, Tuğba; Saygılı Aracı, Fatma Sibel; Kurnaz, Mehmet LeventIn this study, projected changes in climate extreme indices defined by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices were investigated over Middle East and North Africa. Changes in the daily maximum and minimum temperature-and precipitation-based extreme indices were analyzed for the end of the 21st century compared to the reference period 1971–2000 using regional climate model simulations. Regional climate model, RegCM4.4 was used to downscale two different global climate model outputs to 50 km resolution under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Results generally indicate an intensification of temperature-and precipitation-based extreme indices with increasing radiative forcing. In particular, an increase in annual minimum of daily minimum temperatures is more pronounced over the northern part of Mediterranean Basin and tropics. High increase in warm nights and warm spell duration all over the region with a pronounced increase in tropics are projected for the period of 2071–2100 together with decrease or no change in cold extremes. According to the results, a decrease in total wet-day precipitation and increase in dry spells are expected for the end of the century.Yayın Impact of climate change on natural snow reliability, snowmaking capacities, and wind conditions of ski Resorts in Northeast Turkey: a dynamical downscaling approach(Mdpi Ag, 2016-04) Demiroğlu, Osman Cenk; Turp, Mustafa Tufan; Öztürk, Tuğba; Kurnaz, Mehmet LeventMany ski resorts worldwide are going through deteriorating snow cover conditions due to anthropogenic warming trends. As the natural and the artificially supported, i.e., technical, snow reliability of ski resorts diminish, the industry approaches a deadlock. For this reason, impact assessment studies have become vital for understanding vulnerability of ski tourism. This study considers three resorts at one of the rapidly emerging ski destinations, Northeast Turkey, for snow reliability analyses. Initially one global circulation model is dynamically downscaled by using the regional climate model RegCM4.4 for 1971-2000 and 2021-2050 periods along the RCP4.5 greenhouse gas concentration pathway. Next, the projected climate outputs are converted into indicators of natural snow reliability, snowmaking capacity, and wind conditions. The results show an overall decline in the frequencies of naturally snow reliable days and snowmaking capacities between the two periods. Despite the decrease, only the lower altitudes of one ski resort would face the risk of losing natural snow reliability and snowmaking could still compensate for forming the base layer before the critical New Year's week. On the other hand, adverse high wind conditions improve as to reduce the number of lift closure days at all resorts. Overall, this particular region seems to be relatively resilient against climate change.Yayın Simulation of temperature and precipitation climatology for the Central Asia CORDEX domain using RegCM 4.0(Inter-Research, 2012) Öztürk, Tuğba; Altınsoy, Hamza; Türkeş, Murat; Kurnaz, Mehmet LeventThe Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) is a framework designed to coordinate international efforts on regional climate simulations. CORDEX domains encompass the majority of land areas of the world. Region 8 of the CORDEX basically covers Central Asia, with the corners of the domain at 54.76 degrees N, 11.05 degrees E; 56.48 degrees N, 139.13 degrees E; 18.34 degrees N, 42.41 degrees E; and 19.39 degrees N, 108.44 degrees E and with a horizontal resolution of 50 km. In the present study, the results of an experiment with the ICTP regional climate RegCM 4.0 model that was run for seasonal mean air temperature and precipitation total series are presented. The experiment consists of one simulation from 1989 to 2010 using ERA-Interim reanalysis data as the boundary condition, another simulation for the period 1970-2000 using the global climate model ECHAM5 A1B scenario data for forcing, and finally a simulation for the period 2070-2100 using the ECHAM5 A1B scenario projection data for forcing. Between these 3 simulations we determined the temperature and precipitation climatology obtained from RegCM 4.0 downscaling for Region 8 of the CORDEX framework. In spite of the diverse topography of the region, the temperature and precipitation climatology obtained by RegCM 4.0 from hindcast data captures the general characteristics of the climate of Central Asia. In winter, the warm temperature bias of the forcing data is slightly decreased by regional downscaling. The influences of the Indian monsoon system are well represented, as this region covers a large area towards the southern boundary of Region 8, even though the focus of this work was to capture the general characteristics of the whole region.Yayın The Worldwide C3S CORDEX Grand Ensemble A Major Contribution to Assess Regional Climate Change in the IPCC AR6 Atlas(American Meteorological Society, 2022-12) Diez-Sierra, Javier; Iturbide, Maialen; Gutierrez, Jose M.; Fernandez, Jesus; Milovac, Josipa; Cofino, Antonio S.; Cimadevilla, Ezequiel; Nikulin, Grigory; Levavasseur, Guillaume; Kjellstrom, Erik; Bulow, Katharina; Horanyi, Andras; Brookshaw, Anca; Garcia-Diez, Markel; Perez, Antonio; Bano-Medina, Jorge; Ahrens, Bodo; Alias, Antoinette; Ashfaq, Moetasim; Bukovsky, Melissa; Buonomo, Erasmo; Caluwaerts, Steven; Chou, Sin Chan; Christensen, Ole B.; Ciarlo, James M.; Coppola, Erika; Corre, Lola; Demory, Marie-Estelle; Djurdjevic, Vladimir; Evans, Jason P.; Fealy, Rowan; Feldmann, Hendrik; Jacob, Daniela; Jayanarayanan, Sanjay; Katzfey, Jack; Keuler, Klaus; Kittel, Christoph; Kurnaz, Mehmet Levent; Laprise, Rene; Lionello, Piero; McGinnis, Seth; Mercogliano, Paola; Nabat, Pierre; Öztürk, Tuğba; Panitz, Hans-Jurgen; Paquin, Dominique; Pieczka, Ildiko; Raffaele, Francesca; Remedio, Armelle Reca; Scinocca, John; Sevault, Florence; Somot, Samuel; Steger, Christian; Tangang, Fredolin; Teichmann, Claas; Termonia, Piet; Thatcher, Marcus; Torma, Csaba; van Meijgaard, Erik; Vautard, Robert; Warrach-Sagi, Kirsten; Winger, Katja; Zittis, George; Önol, BarışThe collaboration between the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) and the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) provides open access to an unprecedented ensemble of regional climate model (RCM) simulations, across the 14 CORDEX continental-scale domains, with global coverage. These simulations have been used as a new line of evidence to assess regional climate projections in the latest contribution of the Working Group I (WGI) to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), particularly in the regional chapters and the Atlas. Here, we present the work done in the framework of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) to assemble a consistent worldwide CORDEX grand ensemble, aligned with the deadlines and activities of IPCC AR6. This work addressed the uneven and heterogeneous availability of CORDEX ESGF data by supporting publication in CORDEX domains with few archived simulations and performing quality control. It also addressed the lack of comprehensive documentation by compiling information from all contributing regional models, allowing for an informed use of data. In addition to presenting the worldwide CORDEX dataset, we assess here its consistency for precipitation and temperature by comparing climate change signals in regions with overlapping CORDEX domains, obtaining overall coincident regional climate change signals. The C3S CORDEX dataset has been used for the assessment of regional climate change in the IPCC AR6 (and for the interactive Atlas) and is available through the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS).Yayın Future global meteorological drought hot spots: A study based on CORDEX data(American Meteorological Society, 2020-05-01) Spinoni, Jonathan; Barbosa, Paulo; Bucchignani, Edoardo; Cassano, John; Cavazos, Tereza; Christensen, Jens H.; Christensen, Ole B.; Coppola, Erika; Evans, Jason; Geyer, Beate; Giorgi, Filippo; Hadjinicolaou, Panos; Jacob, Daniela; Katzfey, Jack; Koenigk, Torben; Laprise, Rene; Lennard, Christopher J.; Kurnaz, Mehmet Levent; Li, Delei; Llopart, Marta; McCormick, Niall; Naumann, Gustavo; Nikulin, Grigory; Öztürk, Tuğba; Panitz, Hans-Juergen; da Rocha, Rosmeri Porfirio; Rockel, Burkhardt; Solman, Silvina A.; Syktus, Jozef; Tangang, Fredolin; Teichmann, Claas; Vautard, Robert; Vogt, Juergen V.; Winger, Katja; Zittis, George; Dosio, AlessandroTwo questions motivated this study: 1) Will meteorological droughts become more frequent and severe during the twenty-first century? 2) Given the projected global temperature rise, to what extent does the inclusion of temperature (in addition to precipitation) in drought indicators play a role in future meteorological droughts? To answer, we analyzed the changes in drought frequency, severity, and historically undocumented extreme droughts over 1981–2100, using the standardized precipitation index (SPI; including precipitation only) and standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index (SPEI; indirectly including temperature), and under two representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). As input data, we employed 103 high-resolution (0.448) simulations from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), based on a combination of 16 global circulation models (GCMs) and 20 regional circulation models (RCMs). This is the first study on global drought projections including RCMs based on such a large ensemble of RCMs. Based on precipitation only,;15% of the global land is likely to experience more frequent and severe droughts during 2071–2100 versus 1981–2010 for both scenarios. This increase is larger (;47% under RCP4.5,;49% under RCP8.5) when precipitation and temperature are used. Both SPI and SPEI project more frequent and severe droughts, especially under RCP8.5, over southern South America, the Mediterranean region, southern Africa, southeastern China, Japan, and southern Australia. A decrease in drought is projected for high latitudes in Northern Hemisphere and Southeast Asia. If temperature is included, drought characteristics are projected to increase over North America, Amazonia, central Europe and Asia, the Horn of Africa, India, and central Australia; if only precipitation is considered, they are found to decrease over those areas.Yayın Business-as-usual will lead to super and ultra-extreme heatwaves in the Middle East and North Africa(Nature Research, 2021-03-21) Zittis, George; Hadjinicolaou, Panos; Almazroui, Mansour; Bucchignani, Edoardo; Driouech, Fatima; El Rhaz, Khalid; Kurnaz, Levent; Nikulin, Grigory; Ntoumos, Athanasios; Öztürk, Tuğba; Proestos, Yiannis; Stenchikov, Georgiy; Zaaboul, Rashyd; Lelieveld, JosGlobal climate projections suggest a significant intensification of summer heat extremes in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). To assess regional impacts, and underpin mitigation and adaptation measures, robust information is required from climate downscaling studies, which has been lacking for the region. Here, we project future hot spells by using the Heat Wave Magnitude Index and a comprehensive ensemble of regional climate projections for MENA. Our results, for a business-as-usual pathway, indicate that in the second half of this century unprecedented super- and ultra-extreme heatwave conditions will emerge. These events involve excessively high temperatures (up to 56 degrees C and higher) and will be of extended duration (several weeks), being potentially life-threatening for humans. By the end of the century, about half of the MENA population (approximately 600 million) could be exposed to annually recurring super- and ultra-extreme heatwaves. It is expected that the vast majority of the exposed population (>90%) will live in urban centers, who would need to cope with these societally disruptive weather conditions.
