Abstract

Climate change is an acknowledged phenomenon. Even so, its consequences are not easily predictable. Lakesin Lakes Region of southwestern Turkey have been shrinking. Akşehir Lake, located on important birdmigration routes, is one of those aforementioned lakes that has continually shrunk until completely dryingup in 2008. This study aims to investigate the variation of meteorological and hydrological parameters during the shrinking and drying up of Lake Akşehir. Previous studies were mainly related with coastline changes ofAkşehir Lake and attributed the changes to increased air temperatures and evaporation in conjunction withreduced precipitation and decreased surface flow. In this study, snow dynamics, both snow cover (SC) extentand duration besides snow water equivalent (SWE) are also investigated. Moreover, the inclusion of soilmoisture (SM) data is additions to the current literature. SC, SWE and SM data obtained from satellite imagesrecorded over the study area indicated that SC both in extent and duration was smallest during the 2008winter- the same year in which the lake totally dried. SWE and SM values were also lowest during the studyperiod. These were in agreement with the highest recorded air temperatures and reduced precipitation withrespect to long-term averages over the study period. Recorded high evaporations above the long-term averages might have intensified recession which eventually resulted in drying of lake in 2008

Özet

İklim değişikliği bilinen bir konu olmasına rağmen, sonuçlarını tahmin edebilmek kolay değildir.Türkiye'nin Göller Bölgesinde bulunan göllerin su seviyeleri azalmaktadır. Önemli kuş göç yolları üzerindebulunan ve 2008 de tamamen kuruyan Akşehir Gölü Göller Bölgesinde bulunur. Çalışmada Akşehir Gölününçekilmesi ve kuruması esnasında meteorolojik ve hidrolojik parametrelerin değişimi incelenmiştir. Akşehir Gölü'nün kıyı şeridi çekilmesi ile ilgili önceki çalışmalar, bunu artan sıcaklık ve evapotranspirasyon iledüşük yağış ve azalan yüzey sularına bağlamıştır. Burada, karla kaplı alan (KKA) ve süresi (KS) ile kar sueşdeğeri (KSE) değişkenleri incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, toprak neminin (TN) araştırılması literatüre olankatkılardır. KKA, KS, KSE ve TN uydu görüntülerinden elde edilmiş, Akşehir Gölü'nün kuruduğu 2008 yılıiçin KKA ve KS'nin en düşük seviyede olduğu bulunmuştur. KSE ve TN'de en az seviyede olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bulgular, gölün kuruması süresinde, hava sıcaklıklarının uzun dönem ortalamalarınanazaran daha yüksek, yağışların ise daha az olması ile uyum içeresindedir. Uzun döneme nazaran dahayüksek gözlenen buharlaşma değerleri ise göl çekilmesini hızlandırmış ve göl 2008'de kurumuştur
