Negative longitude meabs that the ballon is in the western hemisphere.
Well. There are quite a few technologies unbeknownst to me, I am familiar with a small collection of technologies. barometer: A device used to measure atmospheric pressure. anemometer: A crucial factor to the collection of meteorological data, it measures wind speed. Just as with most other instruments, it has many variations, of which the cup anemometer is the most common. radar: Meteorologists use radar to track and measure rainfall in areas. thermometer: Thermometers play an important role in predicting the weather by allowing meteorologists to measure the temperature. There are many variations of it, and when attached to a weather balloon, it can prove invaluable. weather balloon: Specially designed to rise exceptionally high with equipment attached to it. Without it, meteorologist would be at a loss trying to predict the weather. I hope this helped! P.S. I'm 11 years old. P.S.S. I'm serious. P.S.S.S. NO ONE CARES! WE JUST WANT ANSWERS NOT AGES! THAT'S WHY ITS CALLED WIKI ANSWERS!
Depends on the content. I would assume you are referring to weather data used in programs such as EnergyPlus and eQuest. In this case, weather data refers to the data recorded of weather over time, such as dry bulb and wet bulb data, referring to specific regions of the country, like cities. This data is typically either in hourly, daily, or tmy data formats.
Weather stations gather data from the local area - satellite imagery shows the weather over a much wider area.
Planes
To educate people about the upcoming weather so they will be prepared for the weather. :P
The balloon itself usually contains devices to measure temperature, pressure and humidity.
Properly equiped aircraft can do this, but we usually think of the weather balloon as the workhorse of the sky. It is equiped with an array of instruments (depending on the hardware package) and released into the air. The data is returned and plotted to provide insight into the conditions in the atmosphere above ground level. Add data gathered by ground stations to balloon data and other sources (satellite, etc.) and the scientist can paint a picture of weather patterns, and, more importantly, can make predictions about what can be expected in the near future.
The radiosonde is attached helium or hydrogen- filled balloon, generally called a weather balloon, and the balloon lifts the radiosonde to altitudes exceeding 115,000 feet. During the radiosonde's ascent, it transmits data on temperature, pressure, and humidity to a sea-, air-, or land-based receiving station (According to google that is) XD ;)
My science book says that they use weather balloons (google image weather balloon) and they would release the balloons twice a day at the same time the data collected was very very extremely important.
The weather service uses sophisticated computer modelling as well as radiosonde data. They also gather data from weather stations, weather radar, satellites and statistical data.
scientists gather weather data from high in the sky using weather satellites

Simply put, the weather balloon is a lighter-than-air vehicle or aerosonde that provides lift to an instrument package to get it to altitude. The instruments thus situated can collect data which, when combined with other information from both similar and different sources, can be used to assess current conditions, and, as an extension, to forecast weather.

Unisys Weather provides up to date weather information in various forms. Satellite images, surface data, upper air data and radar data can all be viewed to determine the latest weather forecasts and changing weather variables.
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.
