Yer Sistem Modellerinin Son Buzul Maksimumu İklim Ardgörülerinin Holdridge Biyomları ve Paleobuzul Alanları ile Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Studies with climate model data, which is one of the methods used to understand the climatic conditions of the past, are increasing, while the studies of balancing and validating which of these studies better demonstrate the reality remain more limited. In this study, glacier areas in the Holdridge biomes were produced from the datasets of 7 different climate model escapades with enhanced resolution, and these areas were compared with the paleo glacier areas in Turkey. In the study, 1 km resolution data sets were used, and the similarities and differences between the glacier and cold desert areas obtained and Turkey's Last Glacial Maximum glacier areas produced using different sources were evaluated. For the evaluation, Turkey's paleo glacier areas were divided into regions, thus it was revealed which climate model gave less inaccurate results in which region. As a result, it was seen that the MPI-ESM-P and CCSM4 models gave consistent results for larger areas in Turkey, while the FGOALS2, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MRI-CGCM3 models gave significant results on a regional basis. On the other hand, it has been revealed that MICRO-ESM and CNRM-CM5 models need to be improved in order to represent the LGM climate conditions in Turkey.
