  1. REPORT OF TURKISH STATE METEOROLOGICAL SERVİCE (TSMS) Hayreddin BACANLI Turkish State Meteorological Service Head of Research and Data Processing Department e-mail: hbacanli@dmi.gov.tr

  2. Content Introduction Observation Network Productand Services Public Services Research and Project External Relations Future Plan

  3. 1. Introduction: Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS): Was established on 19 February 1937.

  4. MainresponsibilitiesofTSMS: Establish and operate weather observing stations for synoptic, climatological, aviationandresearch purposes; Prepare and issue weather forecast reports for short medium and long range; Provide meteorological data and services to public and military; Support and carry out research activities; Coordinate and improve the international relations and activities.

  5. AdministrationScheme of TSMS: Director General 3 Deputy Director General 23 Regional Offices Strategic Development Department Administrative And Finance Department Personnel Department Weather Forecasting Department Agricultural Meteorology and Climatological Observation Department Research And Data Processing Department

  6. InternationalRelations of TSMS: We have good corporation with them. Also we made some workshop and project on 2010.

  7. Training & CapacityBuilding: More than 370 participants have been trained in WMO RTC in Alanya Facilities on Climate Indices, Regional Climate Models (PRECIS, RegCM3), AWOS, Telecommunications, Agricultural Meteorology, etc

  8. 2. Observation Network: To be able to observe the weather and to give the best meteorological services to the users, TSMS has to operatealmost600 stations of several types and purposes; Climatologic stations (350 / 350 automated); Upper-air (radiosonde) (8); Synoptic stations (110 /110 automated); Airport stations (60 / 43 automated); DopplerweatherRADARs (4).

  9. It is also planned to install additional 200 AWOS stations by 2010to complete the modernization program of surface observation network. Thus, TSMS will have a fully automated surface observation network as followsby 2010: Climatologic stations – 556 (all automated); Synoptic stations – 125 (all automated); Airport stations – 60 (all automated).

  10. Upper Air Observing Network: 8 stationsmaking2 observations perday at each station at 00:00 UTC and 12:00 UTC.

  11. SurfaceObserving Network (AirportStations): Among 60 stations, 43 with AWOSs

  12. SurfaceObserving Network (Climatological Stations): 350 AWOS stations,

  13. SurfaceObservation Network (SynopticStations): 110 AWOS stations

  14. Automatic Meteorological ObservationStations:

  15. Meteorological RADARs: In addition to four Doppler RADARs in Ankara, Istanbul, Balikesir and Zonguldak, TSMS is implementing 6 new radars between 2009 and 2012 in following radar sites: Antalya (dual polarization); İzmir (dual polarization); Muğla (dual polarization); Adana/Hatay (dual polarization); Samsun; Trabzon.

  30. Wind Energy Forecasting System - RETS The existing numerical weather prediction models at TSMS have been operating with a 4 km grid-based resolution. Wind Energy Forecasting System (RETS) has been using the MM5 Regional Model Outputs. The 48-hour forecasts for the Wind Speed (m / s), Wind Power (W/m2) and the Energy Production (kWh) for a selected turbines at various heights (1 MW-65 m, 2 MW-80 m and 3 MW-90 m) have been producing since July 2010.

  31. Modeling Solar Energy Potential in Turkey In order to see Solar Energy Potential of Turkey, a modeling study has been carried out by TSMS and published in 2010 In Turkey there are 157 stations which have radiation data for the 1971-2000 climatic period. According to observation data, high radiation values observed around Niğde and Van. For a better interpolation, these values have been modeled by using secondary parameters (latitude, cloudiness, RH%) by using GWR tool under ArcGIS Geostatistical analyzes.

  32. The DREAM-8 model dust transport model has beenestablished at TSMS in cooperation with Barcelona Computer Centre of Spain under the EU TAIEX Small Grants Program. The operational forecasts by DREAM-8 will be start at June 2010. Estimates are published at the website of our General Directorate. Mardin Mardin-Dargeçit
