Analysis of three hydro-meteorological parameters for the East Mediterranean Basin with GLDAS data

Abstract

In this study, precipitation, actual evapotranspiration and potential evapotranspiration in the East Mediterranean Basin were investigated temporally and spatially. The data of this study, in which January 2000-July 2022 was determined as the study period, was obtained from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). According to the results obtained, it was determined that precipitation has a decreasing slope and evapotranspiration parameters have an increasing slope during the study period. In addition, it has been determined that the basin has spatial variability in terms of the investigated hydro-meteorological parameters.
