1 Predicting the Weather P. 62 Pages 62-63

2 Many Different Technologies to detect and help forecast weather Weather Satellites Radar (Doppler, NEXRAD) Balloons Computer Programs Weather Agencies (Environment Canada, The Weather Network)

3 Satellite Imagery Mostly detects and tracks cloud cover Detects light/heat/infrared radiation

4 Radar Imagery Mostly detects and measures precipitation/storms Detects by using microwaves

6 Weather Balloons Carry various instruments to measure weather factors

7 Weather Stations Often at airports Instruments to collect temperature, precipitation, wind speed, humidity,etc.

8 Interpreting Weather Maps (Weather Station Symbols) From the NE 20 knots Completely Overcast

9 See Overhead for more on Weather Station Symbols
