Özet:

 During the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in Europe and North America, meteorology evolved into modern science with a primary focus on enhancing navigational safety and agricultural productivity. This scientific advancement found its way into the publications of the Ottoman Navy, which aimed to educate sailors. These publications disseminated contemporary theoretical and practical information on weather monitoring, which complemented traditional observational methods of natural phenomena that seafarers had already used since ancient times. Simultaneously, ancient astrometeorological sources persisted into the 20th century. Although there are no tangible traces of their use by sailors, these traditions included meteorological predictions at sea, serving either symbolic or popular purposes. From the publications of the Ottoman Navy to astrometeorological sources, this paper aims to present a bibliographical survey of maritime weather monitoring with a particular emphasis on the intersection of modern scientific advancements and traditional knowledge in the field of maritime meteorology.

 19. ve 20. yüzyıllarda, özellikle Avrupa, ve Kuzey Amerikada, meteoroloji modern bir bilime dönüşmüştür. Bu dönüşümün başlıca etkenleri seyir güvenliğinin ve tarımsal verimliliğin arttırılması olmuştur. Meteoroloji alanındaki bilimsel ilerlemeler Osmanlı Donanması denizcilerini eğitmeyi amaçlayan yayınlarda da yer bulmuştur. Böylelikle, hava durumunun izlenmesine ilişkin çağdaş teorik ve pratik bilgiler, denizcilerin eski çağlardan beri kullandıkları doğa olaylarına ilişkin geleneksel gözlem yöntemlerini tamamlayıcı olmuşlardır. Aynı zamanda, eski astrometeoroloji kaynakları 20. yüzyıla kadar devam etmiştir. Her ne kadar denizciler tarafından kullanıldıklarına dair somut izler bulunmasa da bu kaynaklar deniz hava tahminleri içermenin yanı sıra sembolik ya da popüler amaçlara hizmet etmişlerdir. Bu makale, Osmanlı Donanması yayınlarından astrometeorolojik kaynaklara kadar, deniz meteorolojisi alanında modern bilimsel gelişmeler ile geleneksel bilginin kesişimine özel bir vurgu yaparak, deniz hava durumunun izlenmesine ilişkin bibliyografik bir inceleme sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
