2. Weather satellite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_satellite

   A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites are mainly of two types: polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously) or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator ).

3. Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre - Wikipedia

   As a result, during 1989 Meteo-France (MF), Environment Canada (EC) and the United Kingdom's Met Office (UKMO) were all set up as RSMCs under interim arrangements between the WMO and the IAEA. [1] Under these arrangements Meteo-France provided global coverage with the UKMO as the backup centre until each WMO region had at least two RSMCs for ...

Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.).

5. Numerical weather prediction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_weather_prediction

   Weather reconnaissance aircraft, such as this WP-3D Orion, provide data that is then used in numerical weather forecasts.. The atmosphere is a fluid.As such, the idea of numerical weather prediction is to sample the state of the fluid at a given time and use the equations of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to estimate the state of the fluid at some time in the future.

6. Nowcasting (meteorology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowcasting_(meteorology)

   Data extrapolation, including development or dissipation, can be used to find the likely location of a moving weather system. The intensity of rainfall from a particular cloud or group of clouds can be estimated, giving a very good indication as to whether to expect flooding, the swelling of a river etc. Depending on the area of built-up space, drainage and land-use in general, a forecast ...

7. List of weather instruments - Wikipedia

   According to Meteo France, the storm is expected to reach its peak on Monday, with speeds of around 200 kilometres per hour (124 miles per hour) at low altitudes, and 250 kph in inhabited areas ...

9. Weather forecasting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_forecasting

   The world's first televised weather forecasts, including the use of weather maps, were experimentally broadcast by the BBC in November 1936. [31] This was brought into practice in 1949, after World War II. [31] George Cowling gave the first weather forecast while being televised in front of the map in 1954.
