Özet

Aim of study: This study aimed to determine the current and future (present, 2040, 2060, 2080) climate changes in the study area within the scope of climate change scenarios (SSPs 245 and SSPs 585) of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.Area of study: The study area is Samsun province.Material and methods: The current climate data were obtained from the measurements performed by 24 meteorology stations. Using the measurement data of the period 2000-2020 obtained from these data, the climate maps were prepared with the Inverse Distance Weighted method were used for this study. The biocomfort index formulas were applied to these maps, and biocomfort maps were obtained.Main results: Today's average minimum and maximum temperature changes around 7-24 degrees C in the area. According to the two scenarios, the temperature will change between 13-19 degrees C from 2040 to 2080 and then stay constant in the first scenario while it will increase up to 19-25 degrees C in the second scenario during 2080-2100. As a result, the area will have much warmer, and there might be warm zones in Samsun in 2100.Highlights: The biocomfort zones in Samsun province would remarkably change soon, especially the cooling costs, and will negatively contribute to global climate change due to energy consumption and gases used by air-conditioning systems.
