Where did we get the pictures of weather systems we see on television weather reports?
They are created by weather forecasters using a lot of data sources. There are weather stations that collect data and satellites that do so too. All of this data is put together and then they can work out where the weather systems are and the areas of pressure, what level the pressure is and so on. When they have this data they can create the maps and pictures by hand or computer.
Why are E and W on sky maps the reverse how they appear on land maps?
They really aren't - it's that on land maps you look "down" to the ground. On sky maps you look "up" to the sky, so they APPEAR reversed. In actuality, they aren't
What four things that man made satellites are used for?
Global Telecomunications (aka talking to other people.) GPS systems Global mapping (e.g. google maps) Global surveying (Like seeing what the area is like. Can be used for weather prediction too)
How often are Accuweather forecasts updated?
Accuweather forecasts are updated every 4 hours, current conditions are updated hourly, indexes are updated every 6 hours, hour-by-hour is updated every hour, moon phases once a day, and maps are updated every 12 hours.
How would having GPS technology have helped early navigators?
They wouldn't have had to depend on the stars for navigation. If the sky were cloudy, they wouldn't have been able to use a sextant. GPS and accurate maps would help them avoid obstacles.
What kind of weather forecast maps are developed?
forecast weather,long range forecast
What kind of weather forecasts maps developed?
forecast weather,long range forecast
Who issue weather forecast maps?
Meterologists.
Why are weather tools important to the weather?
The weather maps are the most valuable tool to a meteorologist because it helps with the weather forecast. Without the weather maps it would be hard to predict what the weather would be. They help summarize what is going on in the atmosphere.
Why do synoptic weather maps show winter?
Synoptic weather maps often show winter weather patterns because this time of year is typically associated with specific meteorological conditions, such as cold fronts, low pressure systems, and precipitation. These patterns can have a significant impact on the weather and can be used to predict future conditions. The maps provide a visual representation of these weather patterns, which can be helpful for understanding and anticipating the weather.
What do forecasters do before making a forecast?
Before making a weather forecast, weather forecasters "get in touch with the weather". They look at the weather that has happened in the past 24 hours. They look at the current weather. They look at local weather and weather for the whole hemisphere. They look for patterns in the weather. They use tools such as satellite, radar, and surface maps, to help them predict the weather. They also look at computer models of the weather. They collaborate with other meteorologists. Then they make their forecast!
What do meteorologists use charts and graphs?
Another name for a weather map is forecast. Many meteolologists use these satillite maps to predict the weather and deliever the weather to all citizens.

Why are weather maps important and what resources are used to forecast the weather?
they use a special radar to put out and its important and also the maps are helpful to know if something bad will happen
How can a series of synoptic weather maps be used to predict the future location of a low pressure system?
u get an overall pic
How far in advance can we accurately forecast the weather?
it takes about four hours
Weather maps and its importance?
Weather maps can show where storms are located and/or moving. Over time they can help predict weather patterns.
