Özet:In Turkey, due to lack of on-site wave measurement data, design of coastal structures primary relies on wind measurements. Meteorology and ECMWF are the most commonly used data sources for the data sets, which provide valuable information about wind and wave characteristics. In the scope of this research, these two data sets are chosen to be analysed and compared according to their extreme and long term wave characteristics, in order to see different data sets impact on design process. In this study, seven meteorology stations and their nearby coordinates along Mediterranean coast in Turkey are chosen as inspected regions. After both data sets are acquired from respective sources, these data are processed and formatted to make them ready to be used specifically for wind.exe and W61 programs, which are used for data analysis part of this research. For each selected location, scatter graphs wind roses, extreme and long term analysis are made for both graphical visualization and numerical calculations. Moreover, importance of selected ECWMF coordinates and change of design wave height related to the coordinate is also investigated. The results of research is presented and also outcomes are compared with previous studies to provide a comprehensive point of view in the research topic. In addition to analysis part of study, a further online research of historical storm occasions around Mediterranean coast of Turkey is conducted, found events and their characteristics are presented and compared with available data sets.
