The accuracy of data collected and the amount of data available are crucial for making reliable weather predictions.

Long-term weather predictions face challenges in accuracy due to the complex and unpredictable nature of atmospheric systems.

A device used to measure temperature, commonly using Fahrenheit or Celsius scales.

An instrument used to measure air pressure, which is an important factor influencing weather.

A device that measures wind speed, indicating the strength of the wind.

A tool used to measure relative humidity, which is the amount of moisture in the air.

An automated system designed to continuously collect weather data, providing vital information for various purposes.

ASOS plays a critical role in aviation, weather forecasting, and weather-related research by providing consistent and reliable weather data.

A type of satellite imagery that reveals moisture in the atmosphere, aiding in weather analysis.

A graphical representation of weather data for a specific location and time.

Symbols used to represent weather data on a station model.

Lines connecting points with equal pressure values on a weather map.

Lines connecting points with equal temperature values on a weather map.

A device used to measure temperature, pressure, and humidity in the upper atmosphere.

A type of radar that can detect precipitation and its movement.

The change in frequency of a wave due to the relative motion of the source or observer.

A type of weather radar that uses the Doppler effect to determine the speed of precipitation.

Weather satellites use infrared imagery to observe clouds and surface temperatures at night.

Infrared imagery allows meteorologists to map cloud cover or surface temperatures by detecting different frequencies of thermal energy.

The accuracy of weather data is essential for making reliable weather predictions.

Long-term weather predictions are often less accurate than short-term ones due to the complex and unpredictable nature of weather systems.

A weather map that shows isobars and air pressure data for a specific location.

A method of forecasting based on comparing current weather patterns to similar patterns from the past.

A forecast created using physical principles and mathematics to predict changes in atmospheric variables over time.

Weather data displayed at a specific location on a weather map using symbols.

A digital forecast is created by applying physical principles and mathematics to atmospheric variables and then making a prediction about how these variables will change over time.

The most accurate and detailed weather forecasts are for short-term periods, as weather systems change rapidly.

The study of weather patterns and their tendencies to repeat over long periods.

The ability of a system to react to small changes in a way that is unpredictable and often drastic.

A prediction of weather conditions beyond the typical range of short-term forecasts.

Computer simulations used to forecast weather conditions.
