The diagram illustrates the process of collection immediate information on the weather for reliable forecasts made by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Overall, the process involves four steps where the first one is the income of information, and the last one is the broadcast. However, phases like analysis and forecasting along with the broadcast preparation are also included.
Firstly, information is collected from three resources, such as satellite, radar, and drifting buoy. Afterwards, collected information moves through for analysis: satellite to satellite photo, radar to the special screen, and drifting buoy to the synoptic chart, where all the items will go through the process of forecasting.
All the information collected from different resources is move to the computer for preparation to the broadcast. The last step is the broadcast, where the information from satellite will be broadcasted to the TV newsreader, radar information to the radio, and drifting buoy to the recorded announcements.
