Presentation transcript:

Aim: How are weather maps created?

I. Weather Maps: show the current state of the atmosphere and are used to forecast future conditions.

Why would meteorologist use station models to represent data on a map? A. Station Models: Page 13 ESRT - Symbols on a weather map that indicate many different types of data for one location. Why would meteorologist use station models to represent data on a map?

B. Isotherms: - lines that connect points of equal air temperature.

C. Isobars: - lines that connect points of equal air pressure. - show centers of high and low pressure High pressure has high numbers at it center Low pressure has low numbers at it center

II. Rules for Drawing Isolines: 1. Isolines do not touch or cross. 2. Isolines tend to run parallel to each other. 3. Isolines form closed loops or run off the page.

Closure: Take the worksheet from the back top bin
