Abstract

The increase in high impact heat waves in the Euro-Mediterranean region and Turkey is related to a number of concurring factors that include persistent anticyclonic weather regimes. The present study investigates the June-July-August (JJA) of 2000, 2007 and 2010 heat wave events in concert with some meteorological anomalies (500 hPa geopotential height, 850 hPa temperature, sea surface temperature and soil wetness) and blocking anticyclones, focusing on heat wave occurrences on a grid point base. Detection methods for atmospheric blocking and heat wave are introduced and applied on study cases. During the 2000 JJA very high temperatures were recorded over the Balkan Peninsula and over Turkey where 42 cities had breaking all time highest temperature records for June, but the duration of heat wave was short. The 2007 summer was also abnormally hot for the region and record breaking temperatures were observed in Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey where 34 cities had highest temperature records for June and July, and the highest total heat wave duration was 60-70 days. The 2010 JJA period was extremely hot over Russia and nearby countries including Turkey where 9 cities had highest temperature records for August. The 2010 case was marked for; large meteorological anomalies, the longest heat wave duration and the highest heat wave intensity. In all cases, heat wave occurrences found to be particularly high over the western part of Turkey. The extremely hot summers of 2000, 2007 and 2010 could reflect summers to come. The results indicate that summer climate might experience a pronounced increase in year-to-year variability. Increase in variability might be able to explain the high impact heat waves, and would strongly affect their incidence in the future. The results may also contribute to a better understanding of heat waves in context of climate variability.
