What is a station model in weather?
The station model depicts current weather conditions, cloud cover, wind speed, wind direction, visibility, temperature, dew point temperature, atmospheric pressure adjusted to sea level, and the change in pressure over the last three hours. The pole points to the direction from which the wind is coming.
When was the station model invented?
The station model was invented in 1941 and has remained almost identical since then; the following weather variables can be depicted and understood from a station model: temperature, dewpoint, wind, cloud cover, air pressure, pressure tendency, and precipitation. An example of a station model is below.
What symbols are used in a station model?
Station Model Information for Weather Observations.
What is Station plot?
Station Weather Plot One common way is with station weather plots. The station weather plot shows the current weather conditions, cloud cover, wind speed, wind direction, visibility, temperature, dew point temperature, atmospheric pressure, and the change in pressure over the last three hours.
How does a station model determine current weather?
Each station on the station model contains a central picture that represents the wind speed and direction, a circle or dart to represent cloud cover, a symbol to the left of that to represent the current weather, a symbol above to represent the type of clouds, and then various numbers in particular positions around it.
What is the air pressure on a station model?
Air pressure on a station model only contains the last 3 digits of the air pressure. A pressure of 995. 0 mb is written as 950 on the station model. A pressure of 1032 is written as 320 on the station model.
How do you create a station model?
How to Make a Weather Station Model
- Draw a circle. Look at the sky and divide it into eighths.
- Determine the temperature and dew point of your weather station.
- Record sea level pressure to the nearest tenth of a millibar in the upper right of the station model circle.
