What are Weather Forecasting Systems?
Weather refers to air condition on the earth at a given place and time and is a constant, data-intensive, multidimensional, dynamic and chaotic process. These properties create weather forecasting is a formidable challenge. Forecasting is the process of analysis in unknown situations from historical data. Weather forecasts are usually made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of the atmosphere and using a scientific understanding of atmospheric processes to project how the atmosphere will evolve in the future. There are several techniques involved in weather forecasting, such as relatively simple observation of the sky and highly complex computerized mathematical models. A weather forecasting system uses science and technology to predict the atmosphere for a given location and time. A weather forecasting system utilizes multiple components, including barometers, anemometers, hygrometers, rain gauges, thermometers, sensors, and weather radars & antennas.
