Türkiye’nin biyoklimatik koşullarının analizi

Abstract

The bioclimatic conditions of Turkey have been carried out by the multi linear regression analysis of latitude, elevation and maritime parameters and monthly mean physiologically equivalent temperatures (PET) of 69 stations which has measurements between 1975 and 2008. At the end of calculations, it is concluded that the coastal areas and terrestrial lowlands (valleys and plains) has higher (5°C-25°C) PET values than the other parts of the country. The massive mountain ranges of the AnatoliaPeninsula have lower (10°C-30°C) PET values than their lower environs. The highest PET values have been observed at the terrestrial lowlands which is located in the southeastern parts of the country during the warm period (from May to September) and at the Mediterranean Sea coast during the cool period (from October to April). While for the warm period the lowest PET values have been calculated at the KaçkarMountains where is located further north and more maritime, it’s calculated at GreatAraratMountains peak for the cool period. Furthermore, as a result it is found that when latitude, elevation and maritime values increase, the PET values of the location decrease. For the 1° increase of latitude value, the annual PET means decreases 1,3°C, for the 100 m the decreasing amount of the annual PET means is 0,71°C and for each 100 km from the coast the annual PET means increase 1,08°C
