Abstract After applying special edge detection techniques to METEOSAT water vapor images midtropospheric wind vectors have been derived in cloudfree areas by using the single point tracking method. A comparison of derived wind vectors with radiosonde winds gave rms-differences of 5ms−1 for wind velocity and 16° for wind direction.
