Özet
An imperial observatory (Rasathane-i Âmire) was established in 1868 in Istanbul as a response to European requests of meteorological data from Ottoman ports and cities. World War I offered a new opportunity for establishing a modern meteorology and climatology organization in the Empire. Owing to the Ottoman-German Empire alliance established at that time, German professors were invited to teach in the Dârülfünun (University). A Meteorology Committee (Tedkikat-i Iklimiyye Encümeni) was founded in 1917 in the Dârülfünun under the chairmanship of Dr. Erich Obst, professor of geography. Two regulations were issued the same year to organize the work to be carried out by the Commitee and the observational centers (Rasad Merkezleri). Through these regulations, Obst suggested a systematic program for collecting meteorological data in the Ottoman Empire. The present study aims to introduce the work of the Meteorology Committee and the observational centers based on the two afore-mentioned regulations.
