THE METEOROLOGIAL SITUATION
OF MARDIN
A.The Geological Structure of Mardin :
Mardin stands between 36–55, 38–51 North latitudes and
39–56 , 42-54 East longitudes with an area of 8891 square
kilometres. The
mountains filling %48 of Mardin area are stated towards
East-West and form a large mass 600 metres higher the
plain.The elevation is higher than 1000 metres in somewhere.
There is not any plant on the mountains generally. Because a
large number of it consist of calcareous area, there are
cracks and splits. The water of the surface is observed by
the cracks and rises up on the plateaus. On the clayey and
limestone lands in the highlands of Mardin, Mazıdağı, Derik,
Midyat, Savur and Nusaybin it is impossible to come across
with oaks. The calcareous parts of the mountains have become
plateaus by eroding quickly. These plateaus are covered with
laves rising up in somewhere.There are not only Gumus,
Cagcag and Savur Streams but also Seyhan and Yesilli Gulzar
Streams.The parts of Dicle and Fırat Rivers have formed a
hall in the lands of the city.There are Dicle valley and
Mardin,Nusaybin plains.
B.The Climatic Structure of Mardin :
It has some qualities similar to the climate of
Mediterranean.Summers are quite hot and arid whereas winters
are quiet rainy and mild.The high pressure area in winters
causes winter months to be cold in Mardin.Because it is both
affected by desert climate from south (low pressure of
Basra)
and the high mountains preventing the cold air masses to
arrive in to the region the plains of the city home quite
hot summers. It is possible to feel some qualities similar
to arid climate in somewhere. It is possible to appraise the
climate of Mardinin two shapes,part of plain and part of
mountain. The difference between two parts can be determined
values of precipitation temperature and breeze. While the
summers are quiet hot in the part of the plain, winters are
mild and rainy. It is possible to impose a little and
temporary snow. And in the mountains summers are colder
than the plain and the winters are quiet windy, rainy and
snowy.
Mardin, its provinces and neighbour cities show an
interesting difference between the rate of wind and rain ;
and moisture,and the decrease of their values of
temperatures.
