The Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS) conducted a comprehensive study to project future climate conditions across Turkey within the scope of the "Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources" project. Two climate models have been selected from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) archive, which serves as the basis for the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 2, HadGEM2-ES (HadGEM) and The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology-Earth-System Model, MPI-ESM-MR (MPI) and The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL-ESM2M) global climate models selected from the CMIP5 archive were carried out under the two Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 future emissions scenarios on fine spatial resolution up to 10 km by 10 km.
