Türkiye'deki asit yağmurlarının kaotik analizi

Chaos theory is one of the new paradigms of the science since the last century. After determining chaos in the weather systems by Edward Lorenz, the popularity of the theory was increased. Chaos is observed in many natural systems and studies continue to defect chaos to other natural systems. Acid rain is one of the environmental problems that have negative effects on nature and people, and acid rain values are continuously monitored. The aim of this study is to analyze the chaotic behavior of acid rains in Turkey by using the chaotic defecting approaches. The pH level of the rain water, concentration of sulfate and nitrate data are obtained from the Meteorological Service of the Republic of Turkey. Lyapunov exponents, reconstruction of the phase space, and power spectrum analysis are employed to determine and predict the chaotic behaviors of acid rains.
