ABSTRACT: In this research,
distributions of precipitation, temperature and evaporation in Seydisuyu basin
were analyzed with the help of inverse distance weighted (IDW) method. Because
real meteorological data of the basin (precipitation, temperature and
evaporation) do not have normal distribution, precipitation, temperature and
evaporation distribution maps are drawn after normalization process. The number
of meteorological stations, in other words the number of samples, is low, so only
IDW method is used in this research. In addition to the research, reliability
of the results obtained with the help of inverse distance weighting method was
examined with accuracy analysis. The purpose of this study, the spatial
distribution of meteorological data on a basin or areas is to demonstrate the
applicability of the statistical basis.
