Australian-Bureau-of-Meteorology-collects-information-on-the-weather

Sample Answer 1

The given diagram shows how the weather information is collected by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to provide accurate and updated weather forecasting. As is observed from the given illustration, the weather information collection is done via satellites, radars and drifting buoys and then analysed before broadcasting them to the public.

As presented in the diagram, the weather information is collected using three different sources, namely, satellites, radars and drifting buoys. The raw data collected from satellites are satellite photos. At the same time, radar information is observed from the radar screens, and the synoptic charts are yielded from the drifting buoys these three types of data are fed into a computer system to analyse and prepare the weather news for broadcasting.
 
After that, the weather and the news are broadcasted in different public media like televisions, radios and telephones. The final information regarding the weather is provided to the public via TV news, radio broadcasting and as a recorded announcement on devices like telephones.

Sample Answer 2

The given figure illustrates the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s process for forecasting the weather. The process has four stages, beginning with collecting information about the weather. This information is then analysed, prepared for presentation and finally broadcast to the public.

Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three ways of collecting weather data and three ways of analysing it. Firstly, incoming information can be received by satellite and presented for analysis as a satellite photo. The same data can be passed to a radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart. Finally, drifting buoys also receive data shown on a synoptic chart. In the third process stage, the weather broadcast is prepared on computers. Finally, it is delivered to the public on television, on the radio or as a recorded telephone announcement.

Sample Answer 3

The illustration provides information about collecting current and reliable weather forecasts and then broadcasting this to mass people, which the Australian Bureau of Meteorology conducts.

As can be seen, this process needs some equipment to gather news forecasts. Three primary sources collect weather information, such as satellites, radar, and the drifting buoy.

To begin with, the satellite is used to capture images of Australian weather from the outside of the planet. Meanwhile, radar can give screen pictures while a drifting buoy placed on the sea reveals a synoptic chart of the Australian climate.

Subsequently, all the information is analysed to know the actual weather condition in Australia. After that, these data are put on the computer to prepare the report for the public broadcast. People will know the weather forecasts in Australia through various media, in particular, TV newsreaders, radio, and recorded announcements.

Sample Answer 4

Ways of data gathering, its analysis and weather forecasting, and broadcasting methods followed by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to produce accurate weather forecasts,  are illustrated in the process flowchart.

As shown in the diagram, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology collects information from different sources, like satellites hovering in space, radar sets positioned at different places on the Earth and drifting buoys anchored to the seabed in the vicinity of the continent. Before forecasting, all input data need to be analyzed using radar screens and synoptic charts. The former is designed based on source materials coming from the satellite and radar sets. In contrast, the latter is compiled based on the information from all sources mentioned above. As soon as the information is analyzed and the forecast is done, it is prepared for broadcasting. Finally, precisely prepared forecast information reaches TV studios, radio stations and places where it can be recorded for further announcement.
