How do you make a synoptic chart?
The first stage in preparing a synoptic chart is to chart the position of each meteorological station. These are marked by a small circle. The weather report for each station is then plotted in and around the circle. Elements like temperature and pressure are entered as plain figures.
What is synoptic analysis?
6.2.1 SHORT-PERIOD FORECASTING BASED ON SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS Synoptic analysis identifies and follows well-defined circulation models from chart to chart and along adjacent pressure levels. The more careful and skilled the analyst is, the smaller will be the areas on his charts lacking identifiable models.
What are the meteorological parameters?
Meteorological parameters can be divided into two subgroups – weather and atmosphere….Standard meteorological parameters include :
- Temperature and Humidity.
- Wind speed and direction (speed, height)
- Air density.
- Precipitation.
- Pressure/Barometric pressure.
What is Volume I of the WMO International Code for Meteorology?
Volume I contains WMO international codes for meteorological data and other geophysical data relating to meteorology; it constitutes Annex II of the WMO Technical Regulations and, therefore, has the status of a Technical Regulation. It is issued in two volumes: Volume I.1, containing Part A, and Volume I.2, containing Part B and Part C.
What are the WMO headers and the AWIPS IDs?
The following list indicates the WMO headers and the AWIPS ids (first and second line) for the GFS MOS alphanumeric messages. The WMO headers are also listed for the BUFR (Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data) messages. Each WMO header represents a collection of stations grouped according to communications region.
How are sub-centre identifiers supplied to the WMO?
The sub-centre (s) identifiers should be supplied to the WMO Secretariat by the associated centre (s) for publication.
How are the stations arranged on a WMO map?
For each WMO header listed, the stations are arranged alphabetically by state abbreviation. After each state name, the number in parentheses indicates the number of stations within the state. For each station, the call letters are given, followed by the site name, the latitude, and the longitude. To see a map of the MOS BUFR regions, click here.
