What technology was used to detect hurricane Ivan?

As with all other modern hurricanes, different types of satellite sensors were used most extensively. Planes were also flown through the storm to observe it directly, and radars have limited utility when the hurricane came within their range on the ground.


Which of these these terms would the term GPS be most closely associated?

Navigation. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is a satellite-based navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on Earth.


How does the Australian Bureau of Meteorology collect up-to-the minute information on the weather in order to produce reliable forecasts?

There are four levels in the process. Firstly, the information is collected from various channels such as satellite, drifting buoys and radar station. Then, the data that is collected from those sources will be analyzed and forecast. There are three different ways to present those data. Satellite photos are created by satellite station. Also, radar screens and synoptic charts are created by radar stations and drifting buoys respectively. Drift buoys can receive info from both satellites and radar stations, while information collected by radar stations can come through satellite only. Next, those collected information will be processed and prepared by computers before it is broadcast. Television, radio and recorded announcements are usually used to broadcast the weather. Weather forecasts are important in many fields such as aviation and sailing. Thus, producing reliable weather forecasts is of great importance.


What is the name of the tools scientists use to classify hurricane according to their wind speeds?

Scientists can use anemometers and Doppler radar to measure winds directly. It is also possible to estimate wind speeds with satellite imagery of cloud tops.


What is the difference between a natural and an artificial satellite?

An artificial satellite is a man-made object injected into orbit around another object (The Space Station is an artificial satellite of the Earth). A natural satellite is a "natural" object that orbits around another object (The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth).

A method of sending energy waves from a satellite to an area of earth being observed is?

One method is for the satellite to use electromagnetic waves, such as microwaves or radio waves, to transmit energy to the Earth's surface. These waves can carry information back to the satellite, enabling observation of the target area.
