At commercial airports throughout the country the weather is observed, measured and recorded. In New York State alone there are over a dozen observation sites. These stations record: temperature, ... dew point, cloud cover, visibility, height of cloud base, amount of precipitation, wind speed and wind direction to name a few. The measurements made every hour at every station around the world. This is a very large amount of data, which can be very useful in predicting the weather. The challenge is that a large amount of data needs to be communicated to every weather station in the US. Because of the lack of space on weather maps, the weather information needs to be coded. In order to do this the information needs to be highly organized and standard throughout country. By using station models the data can be represented by a symbol or number, and it’s meaning is easily understood by where the symbol or number is placed on the station model. Through this lab you will learn to understand station models used in meteorology by coding and decoding a variety of stations [Show More]
