How Is Technology Used to Collect Weather Data?

Air mass

A large body of air having similar properties or weather conditions

What kind of weather occurs during a stationary front?

A stationary front occurs when an air mass stops moving. Just this ->Precipitation may occur for several days along a stationary front.

Doppler Radar

A type of radar that calculates distance and shows direction of movement

What does a weather thermometer measure and how does it work?

A weather thermometer measures temperature, like, the temperature of Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. When the tip of the mercury thermometer touches the material it is measuring, the material conducts heat energy to the mercury. Then the mercury expands as it turns into a liquid and begins to rise up the tube. The place where the mercury stops on the scale is where you can take the reading of the temperature.

Aneroid Barometer

An instrument that measures changes in air pressure without using a liquid.

Barometer

An instrument used to measure air pressure

Psychrometer

An instrument used to measure relative humidity

Thermometer

An instrument used to measure temperature,because the matter inside expands

Anemometer

An instrument used to measure wind speed

What kinds of clouds and weather does a cold front bring?

Cold front clouds are cumulonimbus. How they form is the denser,cooler air wedges itself under the warmer air and lifts it. If the warm air is moist enough,cumulonimbus clouds may and produce thunderstorms.

How have forecasting techniques changed over time?

Forecasting techniques changed over time by when the ancient Babylonians wrote the weather in two stones tablets

How do fronts and pressure systems affect weather?

Fronts and pressure systems affect weather by thunderstorms are associated with cold fronts,and long lasting precipitation is associated with warm fronts. Low pressure systems create clouds and precipitation and high pressure systems bring fair weather.

Pressure systems:

High,Low.

How can you use weather maps to forecast weather?

I can use weather maps to forecast weather by looking at the direction it is going in and the wind speed

Wind vane

It determines/ measures wind direction

Conditions:

Rain and snow

How do scientists collect data about the upper atmosphere?

Scientists collect data about the upper atmosphere by using a Doppler Radar

What tools are currently used to collect weather data?

Some tools that are currently used to collect weather data are barometer,anemometer and thermometer

How is technology used to forecast weather?

Technology is used to forecast weather because ASOS and AWIPS allows access to efficiently use weather data,by technology such as

What is the job of the National Weather Service?

The National Weather Service issues forecasts over special communications lines to local weather offices every few hours. Forecasts, advisories,and warnings and then transmitted to airports,radio stations,television stations,newspapers,military bases,and other nations.

Front

The boundary between warm and cold air masses

What is the difference between a cold front and a warm front?

The difference between a cold front and a warm front is that a cold front forms where a cold air mass moves into a warm air mass. And a warm front forms where a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass.

Why was the invention of the telegraph important in the history of weather forecasting?

The invention of the telegraph was important in the history of weather forecasting because the telegraph enabled weather observations from distant points to be rapidly collected, plotted and analyzed at one location.

What role do weather satellites play in meteorology?

The role of weather satellites is that it carried television cameras and stored the pictures in tape for later broadcast on Earth. It can collect ocean temperature,thunderstorms systems,etc.

What kinds of clouds and weather does a warm front bring?

Warm front clouds are stratus. The warm air mass glides up over the cold air mass. The rise is gradual and extends for many kilometers. Stratus clouds and precipitation extend.

Fronts:

Warm front, cold front ,and stationary front.

What kind of measurements do weather balloons gather?

Weather balloons gather temperature,wind direction,wind speed,and moisture, in the upper atmosphere.
