How is Weather Observation Made?
Weather is very important for people. In weather, which is very important in every field from daily life to agriculture, predictions, analyses, and observations are made. In weather, where meteorological events are evaluated according to both objective and subjective values, observations are made in the observation stage using data from automatic meteorological stations, satellite images, radar products, upper atmosphere observations, ship observations, and ground observations. Observation is very important in predicting the weather. For this purpose, climatic observations called climatological and ground observations called synoptic are made.
Criteria Used in Weather Observations
When making weather forecasts, ground observations use adjustments according to GMT. In these observations, factors such as sea; water temperature, sea state, and visibility towards the sea, amount of precipitation and total daily precipitation, daily evaporation, sunshine, and radiation amounts, ground state, total and fresh snow depth, cloudiness; cloud cover amounts, types, and base heights are taken into consideration. This way, the healthiest data is obtained. Sources that use this type of data ensure that the public is informed about the weather through institutional news sites such as

In weather observations, factors such as horizontal visibility, weather phenomena; current and past weather, minimum ground temperature, air temperature, wind; direction, speed, and gusts are taken into consideration. Following the applications combining ship and upper air criteria, detailed forecasts are used for sectors such as warnings, short-term forecasts, insurance, agriculture, and justice. There are more than 850 observation networks in our country. These networks are distributed among 42 Deniz Gözlem İstasyonu (Sea Observation Stations), 56 Havaalanı OMGİ (Automatic Meteorological Observation Stations at Airports), 8 Yüksek Atmosfer Gözlem İstasyonu (Upper Atmosphere Observation Stations), and 755 OMGİ (Automatic Meteorological Observation Stations).
