Abstract
The wind vector evaluation through Meteosat is useful for a continental belt like Turkey where nation-wide radiosonde and aircraft data are suboptimal, especially from the point of view of numerical weather prediction (NWP). Towards this goal, investigations have been carried out on the Meteosat cloud motion winds using IR imagery with collocated radiosonde data in and around Istanbul with the eventual aim of developing general circulation models in the Mediterranean region.
