Wind
These maps show the model-estimated mean annual wind speed in Turkey for three different periods, 1961-1990, 2041-2070, and 2071-2099. Except for the high areas of the Taurus and the eastern Black Sea mountain ranges, the northern Aegean and the southern Marmara regions (the Izmir, Balıkesir, and Çanakkale Provinces) have relatively high wind speeds.
Comparison of future maps with the 1961-1990 map indicates that the wind speed will increase in these areas and throughout the Marmara region. Changes can be observed more clearly in the change maps of(1961-1990) - (2041-2070), and (1961-1990) - (2071-2099).
