TREND ANALYSIS OF SOME METEOROLOGICAL DATA IN HATAY

35821

Global climate change has great impact on different environmental variables in most countries in the World. For this reason, it is vitally important to scrutinize the changes in hydro meteorological parameters for water supply management. In this study, mean temperature {MT), mean humidity (MH), mean average wind speed (MWS) and total precipitation (TP) data are obtained for the period from 1970 to 2010 for Antakya and Iskenderun stations ofHatay state which is located south of the Turkey. These data are exploited for seasonal and annual trend analysis and trend slope test is applied to determined significant trend. Mann Kendall and Spearman s Rho tests are carried out for the trend analysis; Sen s slope trend method is used for detecting the slopes of trend. Beginning years of trend of stations which present significant trend are procured by Mann-Kendall rank Correlation test. According to the results, in the 95% confidence interval, in the annual mean temperature increasing, in the annual mean wind speed decreasing significant trend is seen in Antakya station. Also in the iskenderun station in the annual mean humidity decreasing, in the annual totalprecipitation increasing significant trend is seen.
