Climatic Trends in the Temperature of Çanakkale City, Turkey

Abstract

Climate is a dynamic process changing in both temporal and spatial scales. Climate change and global warming has been extensively accepted and commonly described as rising of the temperature. Long-term trends and changes in the series of monthly, seasonal and annual temperature of Çanakkale station (Çanakkale, Turkey) of Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS) were analyzed by considering temporal characteristics. Climatic data for temperature encompasses the period of between 1970 and 2012. Temperature data set has been arranged as climatological seasons that spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November), and winter (December, January, February). Non-parametric tests and Box-Jenkins method were used to determine climatic trends. Pettitt change-point analysis was applied for determining the change point of temperature dataset. Results of trend analysis revealed that there was a statistically significant increasing trend in the temperature. Mean annual temperature is predicted to increase 0.02977°C per year and it is forecasted to reach 15.9946°C in 2022. On the other hand, mean seasonal temperatures are predicted to increase 0.0121°C, 0.05877°C, 0.0350°C, and 0.0031°C per year for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, respectively. The increase in temperature trends indicates that global warming is causing to climate change. In light of the results, it is crucial to state that Çanakkale city will be affected by global warming and climate change, and also will have a warmer climate in the future.

“…Benzer şekilde, birçok çalışmada iklim değişikliğinin su kaynaklarını etkilediği rapor edilmiştir (Kale vd., 2016a;Kale vd., 2016b;Ejder vd., 2016a;Ejder vd.,2016b;Kale vd., 2018;Kale ve Sönmez, 2018a;Kale ve Sönmez, 2018b;Kale ve Sönmez, 2019a;Kale ve Sönmez, 2019b;Kale ve Sönmez, 2019c;Kale ve Acarlı, 2019a;Kale ve Acarlı, 2019b;Sönmez ve Kale, 2020). Ayrıca, Çanakkale ili için de iklim değişikliği nedeniyle sıcaklık (Kale, 2017a) ve buharlaşma (Kale, 2017b) eğilimlerinin değiştiği ve gelecekte daha çok artacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Dolayısıyla, bu bölgedeki denizel biyolojik çeşitliliğin iklim değişikliğinin olumsuz etkilerinden korunması biyoçeşitliliğin sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması açısından hayati önem taşımaktadır.…”

Spatial and Temporal Change Monitoring in Water Surface Area of Atikhisar Reservoir (Çanakkale, Turkey) by using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System Techniques

“…These changes could be related to the climatic changes such as rising temperature, declining precipitation, increasing evaporation, decreasing surface runoff and snow melting. Similarly, Kale (2017a) reported that the temperature had an increasing trend in addition to the document reported by Kale (2017b) claiming that evaporation had increasing trend in Çanakkale for future periods. Moreover, Ejder et al (2016a) noted that annual streamflow of Sarıçay Stream was decreasing and streamflow presented a decreasing trend.…”

“…The city was divided by the Çanakkale Strait and located on both Asia and Europe continents. The climate in Çanakkale is typical transition climate which winter is rainy and cold, and summer is dry and hot (Kale 2017a). Atikhisar Reservoir (Figure 1) was built on Sarıçay Stream which it has its source from Ida Mountains and runs into Çanakkale Strait (Ejder et al, 2016a).…”

Trend analysis of mean monthly, seasonally and annual streamflow of Daday Stream in Kastamonu

“…There are many studies about trend analysis on climatic parameters such as temperature (Türkeş et al, 1996;Han et al, 2012;Limjirakan and Limsakul, 2012;Demir et al, 2008;Duman and Kara, 2017;Kale, 2017a), evaporation (Tebakari et al, 2005;Jaswal et al, 2008;Kale, 2017b;Bacanlı and Tanrıkulu, 2017), and precipitation (Partal and Kahya, 2006;Aslantaş Bostan andAkyürek, 2007, 2010;Kızılelma et al, 2015;Doğan Demir and Demir, 2017;Yavuz and Erdoğan 2012;Bacanlı and Tanrıkulu, 2016;Bacanli, 2017;Taylan and Aydın, 2018). Trend analyses were also carried out to determine the trends in the streamflow.…”
