Özet

A two-phase research was implemented to determine the effect of topography on climate parameters by using spatial interpolation and conventional statistical procedures in non-homogeneous topography. The primary set of climate data for the Central Anatolia Region includes monthly mean global solar radiation, sunshine duration, surface air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and rainfall, recorded from 1976 to 2005.
