climate and summers are hot and dry. Due to these features, Marmara climate has itsposition between continental Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea climates, as a transitionalzone.4) Black Sea Climate: Temperature differences between summer and winter arenot very significant. Summers are rather cool, winters at coastal areas are warm but withsnow and cold air at high elevation areas. Each season is rainy, and hence, there is notwater scarcity or stress.BLACK SEACONTINENTAL CLIMATEMEDITERRANEAN SEAMEDITERRANEAN CLIMATEMARMARA CLIMATEBLACK SEA CLIMATEFigure 2.1.

OBSERVATION NETWORK IN TURKEYAs it is obvious in Figure 3.1, there are about 206 automatic stations in the westernpart of the country and they are within an the same obnservation network. The timeresolution of precipitation records at these station is almost 1 minute.Figure 3.1. Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) station distribution inTurkey4
In total, there are four C Band Doppler radars and one of them has dual polarizationproperty (Figure 3.2). Among these, only İstanbul (a) and Balıkesir (b) located locationradars are adopted for in this study, but unfortunately, these they do not have dualpolarization property. In this work ,CAPPI product was used for radar data.abFigure 3.2. Radars and their coverage area in Turkey.4. METHODOLOGY4.1. Description of the Models4.1.1. Cloud Resolving Model (CRM)Time-dependent cloud/mesoscale numerical model with the three-dimensional (3-D)UW-NMS, is capable of simulating atmospheric phenomena with horizontal scales rangingfrom the microscale (turbulence) to the synoptic scale (extratropical cyclones, fronts, etc.).The non-Boussinesq quasi-compressible dynamical equations provide the basis on a setof assumptions as the model thermodynamics are based on the prediction of a moist iceliquidentropy variable, designed to be conservative over all ice and liquid adiabaticprocess (Tripoli and Cotton, 1981). Vorticity, kinetic energy and potential entrophy, whichare among the dynamic properties of flow are conserved by the advection scheme in theaforementioned model, which employs variable step topography. This approach is capableof capturing steep topographical slopes, and accurately represents subtle topographicvariations. Additionally, classical conservation equations are used for the specific humidityof total water and several ice and liquid water hydrometeor categories. A two-way multiplynested Arakawa “C” grid system modeling is the basis of the approach in this report, and itcast on a rotated spherical grid system, which includes multiple 2-way nesting capability.Such an approach helps to adjust locally enhanced resolutions in the most convenientway.The new version of UW-NMS includes microphysical module within H-<strong>SAF</strong>, which isa modified form of the scheme (Flatau et al., 1989; Cotton et al., 1986).
