A weather map, also known as synoptic weather chart, displays various meteorological features across a particular area at a particular point in time and has various symbols which all have specific meanings. [1] Such maps have been in use since the mid-19th century and are used for research and weather forecasting purposes.
The Met Office's North Atlantic and European model (NAE) model had 70 levels with a 12 km resolution. [11] It is run out to 48 hours from start. Because the UK is at a northern latitude the computer transposes the model area to an equatorial location so the grid points give an area that is more square.
