Prof. Dr. Ali Deniz has focused on synoptic scale weather events and climate change during and immediately after his doctorate. In this context, he examined the spatial variation of climate indices for Turkey. Also he has revealed the climatology of rainy and dry times over Turkey. He focused on stable atmospheric conditions in later times. He has done studies on climatology of air pollution and its effects. Also, he has numerically revealed the effects of these on human health. Moreover, he examined more than one article on the fog incident occurring in stable atmospheric conditions in terms of the aviation sector, and he conducted two different projects related to this. In his recent studies, he showed a tendency to unstable atmospheric conditions and revealed the climatological characteristics of thunderstorms for the Marmara Region. Subsequently, he carried out studies for lightning incidents at airports in the Marmara Region. In his latest studies, he continues to investigate the climatology and effects of precipitation and air pollution. He has used many statistical methods, numerical weather forecast model, climate models and machine learning algorithms in all his studies.
