    This work investigated projected future changes in seasonal mean air temperature (°C) and precipitation (mm/day) climatology for the three periods of 2011–2040, 2041–2070, and 2071–2100, with respect to the control period of 1971–2000 for the Central Asia domain via regional climate model simulations. In order to investigate the projected changes in near future climate conditions, the Regional Climate Model, RegCM4.3.5 of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) was driven by two different CMIP5 global climate models. The HadGEM2-ES global climate model of the Met Office Hadley Centre and the MPI-ESM-MR global climate model of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology were downscaled to 50 km for the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) Region 8. We investigated the seasonal time-scale performance of RegCM4.3.5 in reproducing observed climatology over the domain of the Central Asia by using two different global climate model outputs. For the future climatology of the domain, the regional model projects relatively high warming in the warm season with a decrease in precipitation in almost all parts of the domain. A warming trend is notable, especially for the northern part of the domain during the cold season. The results of our study show that surface air temperatures in the region will increase between 3 °C and about 7 °C on average, according to the emission scenarios for the period of 2071–2100 with respect to past period of 1971–2000. Therefore, the projected warming and decrease in precipitation might adversely affect the ecological and socio-economic systems of this region, which is already a mostly arid and semi-arid environment.

    Future projections of temperature and precipitation climatology for CORDEX-MENA domain using RegCM4.4
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2018-07-01) Öztürk, Tuğba; Turp, Mustafa Tufan; Türkeş, Murat; Kurnaz, Mehmet Levent
    In this study, we investigate changes in seasonal temperature and precipitation climatology of CORDEX Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region for three periods of 2010-2040, 2040-2070 and 2070-2100 with respect to the control period of 1970-2000 by using regional climate model simulations. Projections of future climate conditions are modeled by forcing Regional Climate Model, RegCM4.4 of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) with two different CMIP5 global climate models. HadGEM2-ES global climate model of the Met Office Hadley Centre and MPI-ESM-MR global climate model of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology were used to generate 50 km resolution data for the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) Region 13. We test the seasonal time-scale performance of RegCM4.4 in simulating the observed climatology over domain of the MENA by using the output of two different global climate models. The projection results show relatively high increase of average temperatures from 3 degrees C up to 9 degrees C over the domain for far future (2070-2100). A strong decrease in precipitation is projected in almost all parts of the domain according to the output of the regional model forced by scenario outputs of two global models. Therefore, warmer and drier than present climate conditions are projected to occur more intensely over the CORDEX-MENA domain.

    The emergence of projected scaled patterns of extreme temperatures over Europe
    (Frontiers Media SA, 2023-06-28) Öztürk, Tuğba; Canbaz, Emine; Bilgin, Başak; Matte, Dominic; Kurnaz, Mehmet Levent; Christensen, Jens Hesselbjerg
    This work investigates the scalability of extreme temperatures over the European domain with global warming levels. We have used the EURO-CORDEX ensemble of regional model simulations at 0.11° resolution for daily minimum and maximum temperatures to analyze future changes in extreme weather daily events. Scaling with the annual mean global warming modeled by the driving GCM was applied to future extreme temperature indices changes. Regional changes in each index were scaled by corresponding global warming levels obtained from GCMs. This approach asserts that regional patterns of climate change and average global temperature change are linearly related. It can provide information regarding climate change for periods or emission scenarios when no simulations exist. According to the results, the annual minimum of the lowest temperature of the day (TNn) increases more than the annual maximum of the highest temperature of the day (TXx) for Europe. The multi-model mean of the changes in scaled patterns of extreme temperatures emerges early, around 2020, even before it becomes robust. Individual scaled patterns of TNn and TXx emerge from around 2040.

    Projected changes in extreme temperature and precipitation indices over CORDEX-MENA domain
    (MDPI AG, 2021-05) Öztürk, Tuğba; Saygılı Aracı, Fatma Sibel; Kurnaz, Mehmet Levent
    In 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.

    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 Levent
    The 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.

    Avrupa'daki aşırı hava olaylarının öngörülen değişikliğinin ölçeklenebilirliği
    (Jeoloji Mühendisleri Odası Yayınları, 2024-04-19) Öztürk, Tuğba; Canbaz, Emine; Kurnaz, Mehmet Levent; Çan, Tolga; Tekin, Senem; Pınarcı, Emre; Kadakçı Koca, Tümay; Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Olgun, Şeyda; Güler, Cüneyt; Sarı, Erol; Tiringa, Deniz
    Bu çalışma, küresel ısınma seviyeleri ile Avrupa üzerinde aşırı hava olaylarının ölçeklenebilirliğini araştırmaktadır. Bu amaçla, EUROCORDEX 0,11° çözünürlüklü bölgesel iklim modeli projeksiyonlarının günlük minimum ve maksimum sıcaklık ve günlük yağış değişkenleri 1°C, 2 °C ve 3°C küresel ısınmaya yönelik aşırı hava olaylarının gelecekteki değişikliklerini analiz etmek için kullanılmıştır. Çeşitli ekstrem iklim indislerindeki değişime, her bir bölgesel iklim modelini koşmak için kullanılan küresel iklim modelinden elde edilen yıllık ortalama küresel sıcaklık değişimi ile basit bir ölçeklendirme yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Yüzyılın sonunda yıllık minimum günün en düşük sıcaklığı (TNn), yıllık maksimum günün en yüksek sıcaklığı (TXx) ile karşılaştırıldığında daha fazla artmaktadır. Yıllık maksimum günün en yüksek sıcaklığı (TXx) ve yıllık maksimum günün en düşük sıcaklığı (TNx) indislerinin ölçeklenmiş sinyallerindeki değişiklik, her iki aşırı iklim indisi de yaz mevsiminde meydana geldiğinden dolayı, Akdeniz Havzası ve Orta Avrupa’da daha yüksek ve Kuzey Avrupa’da daha az olmak üzere benzer alansal değişiklikler göstermektedir. Aynı şekilde, yıllık maksimum günün en düşük sıcaklığı (TXn) ve TNn kış mevsiminde meydana geldiği için her ikisi de kuzey kesimde daha yüksek bir artışla benzer bir alansal örüntü göstermektedir. Ayrıca bu çalışmada belirli ekstrem iklim indisleri ile ilgili olarak minimum ve maksimum sıcaklıklar ile nemli ve kurak kalıcı koşulların ölçekli örüntülerinin ortaya çıkışı da tespit edilmiştir. TNn indisinin ölçekli örüntülerinin ortaya çıkışı 2040 civarında gerçekleşirken, TXx indisinin ölçekli örüntülerinin ortaya çıkışı 2050 civarındadır. Bireysel GCM-RCM çiftleri, her iki indeks için de belirtilen zamanlardan başlayarak sabit alansal örüntülere sahip olma eğilimindedir. Tüm modellerden elde edilen ortalama örüntüler ise, bireysel modellerdendaha erken ortaya çıkmaktadır. 1 mm ve üstündeki yağışlı günlerde yıllık toplam yağış değerlerini içeren PRCPTOT indisinde ise tüm modellerin ortalamasını içeren sonuçlara göre yüzyılın sonunda Avrupa’nın kuzeyinde yoğun artış gözlenirken, Kuzey Afrika ülkeleri boyunca daha şiddetli olmak üzere Akdeniz’e kıyısı olan ülkelerde yağışlarda azalma öngörülmektedir.
