What does the computer of meteorological station do with the collected data, and how much do you know about meteorological work such as weather map and numerical forecast map?

The data observed by weather stations are the basis of weather forecast. The more weather stations there are, the more accurate the forecast will be. To this end, thousands of weather stations have been established around the world, equipped with various weather radars, and several weather satellites have been deployed in space, forming a global atmospheric monitoring network.

There are four steps in making weather forecast. The first is to collect meteorological data, from the ground to the sky, from the land to the ocean, to observe atmospheric changes in an all-round and multi-level way, and quickly collect observation data. Secondly, the computer processes and calculates the collected data to obtain weather charts, numerical forecast charts and other products, which provide forecasting basis for forecasters. Third, professionals analyze the data and make preliminary predictions. Finally, both synoptic methods and numerical forecasting methods have certain limitations, and the forecasting conclusions are different.
