The picture illustrates the way the Meteorology Organization in Australia gathers weather information minutely to give accurate predictions.
The process starts with collecting information from three different sources: satellites, radar, and drifting buoys. The data provided by satellites is in the form of raw images, like satellite photos. Then, the radar house produces a radar screen with additional data from drifters and satellites. Lastly, drifting buoys, by supporting details from radar, generate synoptic charts.
After getting the requisite information, the meteorologist will analyze the given picture from the satellite, the captured screen from the radar, and the derived synoptic graph from the drifter. The analyst will predict the present and upcoming climate by investigating behavior and anomalies from the assembled existing evidence. The result of the analysis will be stored in a computer as preparation for broadcasting. The result of the climate estimation will be announced to Australians via three platforms: television, radio, and recorded announcements.
In conclusion, there are four stages to creating credible climate forecasts, from incoming information to the upcoming announcement to all Australians.
