1 Weather Maps By: Jacob Baxter

2 What are they? A weather map is a tool used to display information quickly, showing the analysis of various meteorological quantities at various levels of the atmosphere. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsof t:en-us:IE- SearchBox&rlz=1I7ADBR_en&defl=en&q=define:Weath er+maps&sa=X&ei=9iGRTfkOh7e2B666iUw&ved=0CBg QkAE

3 Satellite Maps Pictures of the Earth from space Measures infrared radiation from clouds which can determine cloud height Low clouds are gray, high clouds are white

4 Radar Maps Sends out beam of energy and measures the amount of reflectivity The more precipitation the more reflectivity A "hook" seen on a radar map can indicate rotation in a severe thunderstorm Low precip.= blue High precip.= red, purple, white

5 Surface Chart Shows location of cold, warm, stationary, and occluded fronts Shows location of high and low pressure systems High- good weather Low- unstable weather

6 Wind Speed Maps Use symbols to indicate wind speed and direction Used in navigation Used during severe storms like hurricanes

7 Station Model Maps Used by meteorologists interpret all relevant weather data Indicates temperature, pressure, wind speed, it’s direction, weather condition, visibility, cloud cover, and change in pressure over the last 3 hrs
