Station Model

A Station Model Is a system that uses symbols and numbers to communicate the present weather condition.

Station Model

75% cloud cover

100% cloud cover West Wind is described where it is coming from.

Southwest Wind is described where it is coming from. North

Long line is 10 knots Short line is 5 knots Speed of Wind is 15 knots.

10 knots 5 knots

snow There are a lot of symbols used for the current weather. Some of them are in pp. 915

This are some of the current weather symbols.

27 / 28 = X 100 = 96% 100 % relative humidity means precipitation.

After 6 hours.

How to get the complete air pressure. Less than 500, add 10 at the beginning means… mb
