Samsun ilinin turizm iklim indeksi değerlerinin trend analizi

Tourism activities are more frequent in certain time periods in our country as well as in the whole world. The length of the tourism period depends on the climate and weather conditions of that region. Some indices have been developed by using meteorological variables to determine climatic and thermal comfort conditions. The most common index used in determining climate comfort is Tourism Climate Index (TCI). The daily average and daily maximum relative humidity (%), daily average wind intensity (km/ hour), average daily sunshine duration (hour), daily total precipitation amount (mm), daily minimum and daily average temperature (°C) data were obtained from Samsun and Bafra Automatic Meteorology Observation Stations in order to make trend analysis of TCI values of these stations. Annual, monthly and seasonal averages of the calculated TCI values were taken and trend analyzes were performed for Samsun and Bafra stations using the Şen Innovative Trend Test (ŞYTT) and Mann-Kendall (MK) methods.
