The given process diagram outlines how the Australian Bureau of Meteorology collects real-time weather data to produce reliable forecasts.
Overall, the process consists of three main stages, such as collecting information from various sources, analyzing and forecasting data, and preparing the broadcast to public through TVs, radios, and recorded announcements.
In the first stage, weather data is collected from three main sources, including satellites from space, radar systems on land, and drifting buoys in the ocean. After that, the collected data is converted into satellite photos, radar screens, and synoptic charts. Subsequently, the data is used to analyzing and forecasting weather conditions, after that data is sent to broadcast.
In the final stage, the information is processed by a central machine, which is prepared the data for weather forecast. After that, reliable weather information is delivered to the public via several channels, such as TV newsreaders, radio broadcasts, and recorded announcements.
