Slide 15 : There are four steps in producing a weather forecast.
First, relevant features of the atmosphere must be observed as frequently, accurately and over as wide an area as possible.
Then these observations must be assembled as quickly as possible at a central point.
Next they must be processed and analysed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current weather, including the preparation of maps.
Finally, forecasters must predict how the maps, and consequently the weather, will change
