Producing Weather Forecasts

Using Radar to produce weather forecasts

The literature gives a good description as to the systems used in monitoring the incoming weather. I do not believe that the information content is too technical even for most people. I do believe that the text should include information as to regard with the equipment used and other systems which accompany those explained, as i pressume there are other.

It is usefull as it can give everybody and anybody an insight into how the weather is forecast and may give them more belive in the weather forecasting buisness, since they now understand that is based on scientific data and not just guessed.

I think it is usefull page but could do a lot more to relate it to the general public and demonstrate to them how this is used to contributr to the weahter prediction that they are used to seeing.

Barry's Response - Thanks for your input, David. Weather predicting is less of a black art than you might imagine.
