Özet:

In this study, the precipitation data from 11 meteorological stations on the Eastern Mediterranean Coasts of Turkey covering the years 1975-2006, were analyzed using the One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). In addition, the total annual precipitation, precipitation days and precipitation intensity models with linear trends, annual and seasonal precipitations with precipitation intensities of linear trend models were prepared, covering the region from Silifke to Samandağ in a 32-year period (1975-2006). Thus, in addition to the annual precipitation, seasonal precipitation and precipitation days and trends in densities and relationships between them have been revealed. Annual precipitations on the Eastern Mediterranean Coast of Turkey’s 11 stations have a statistically significant difference. Annual precipitation trends show a decline in the number of precipitation days with the annual total. The same trends of decrease in the winter and spring seasons can be seen.
