Meteorologists of the National Weather Service collect data from satellites, instruments attached to weather balloons, and radar. This info. is used to describe weather conditions in the atmosphere above Earth's surface.

∙ 11y agowell, I can assure you they don't make weather, but they do make weather forecasts of many different types. They also have a hand in making the things used to forecast and observe weather, such as satellites, radar facilities, computer models, and sounding equipment used to measure atmospheric conditions above the surface (usually complex radar set-ups or "weather balloons" loaded with observing equipment).

hi and the answer to that questin is Isobars and isotherms are lines on weather maps which represent patterns of pressure and temperature, respectively. They show how temperature and pressure are changing over space and so help describe the large-scale weather patterns across a region in the map.
your welcome

Explain how the national weather service makes weather maps?
The National Weather Service makes weather maps with special lines. Isotherm is a line that connects points of equal temperature. Isobar is a line that is drawn to connect equal atmosphere pressure.
What kind of weather forecasts maps developed?
forecast weather,long range forecast
What kinds of data are used to make weather maps?
Data used to create weather maps come from different sources. Weather balloons, satellites, ship and airplane reports, and wind profiler data are also used.
Weather maps show all the following except what?
Weather maps show various facts regarding the weather of a particular place including patterns of high and low pressure, temperature gradients, wind speed, and much more.
Weather maps are idea models that allow scientists to predict weather patterns true or false?
true

How the national weath service make weather maps?
As you probably know, the National Weather Service is a United States Government organization so not many people know. Contact a NWS meteorologist for help.
Where does the national weather service gets its info for its weather maps?
Satellites. 2nd answer: There is a network of weather reporting stations in the US - many of them at airports - who report temperature, visibility, dew point, wind strength and direction, barometer readings, and so forth to the National Weather Service. Using this information, along with satellite photos and RADAR readings, they draw up and analyze weather maps.
How does nation weather service make weather maps?
they gather info first
How many weather maps does the national weather service make?
If you include all forecasts and analyses, it would be well over 100 per day if not more. There is no formal count that I know of.
What is the most reliable weather map that is available online?
There are several reliable weather maps that are available online. According to some search on the internet and the answers or suggestions given by people, the most reliable one seems to be the one provided by the official National Weather Service webpage.
Where can you find a map of the Grand Canyon?
General maps and specific trail maps are available at the Ranger station and from the National Park Service.
How do meteorologists combine data from weather radar and weather satellites to gather information about the atmosphere?
The National Weather Service makes most of the national maps you see at the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center in Camp Springs, MD. Meteorologists there analyze observed data from both surface observation stations and weather baloons to determine existing weather patterns. These maps are then sent across the country for use to assist forecasters across the nation. The surface map, (usually the one you see on TV) comes primarily from ground observations, and they draw lines of equal pressure (isobars) across the map to get a general idea of the basic weather pattern because the pressure values give clues as to what type of weather is occuring. You can also draw lines of equal temperature (isotherms) and equal dewpoint (isodrosotherms) to get a better picture of what is happening. Forecast maps, a part of the new National Digital Forecast Database are produced at each of the 122 National Weather Service local Weather Forecast Offices. There meteorologists use the latest observed data and computer models to produce a 7 day forecast.
Can I find a map of where Hawai'i Volcanoes are in Hawaii?

What info do weather maps provide?
weather maps provide info like if storms are coming or if the weather outside is hot or cold.
What are two different things weather maps can show?
Air pressure and temperatures.
What are weather boxes on weather maps?
