The chart below shows information about the weather in Australia that the Bureau of Meteorology gathers every minute of every day to provide the most precise forecasts.
The process of collecting weather data involves several stages, starting with gathering information from satellites in space, radars on the Earth’s surface, and drifting buoys in the water. The data is then translated into TV, radio, and recorded announcements.
The process begins with the collection of information from space by satellite, which is then used to produce a radar screen. In addition, water temperature is measured along the vertical axis using a drifting buoy to observe changes in temperature. These collections are combined to analyze and forecast possible results.
Finally, the materials collected from various sources are combined, analyzed, and sorted by computer. The information is then broadcast by a newsreader on television and radio, or as an announcement on a tape recorder.
