MODEL DATA
Forecasters use the output
from computer models to make their forecasts. Computer models mathematically
simulate (or model) the fluid motion of the atmosphere. The output from these models gives
the forecaster a picture of how the atmosphere will evolve... For example, how
the jet stream will change strength and location, and how surface fronts and
low pressure systems will move and change strength. By integrating the latest
satellite, radar, and surface observations with the computer model data, the
forecaster can evaluate the computer models and adjust the forecast accordingly
. The format of most of the data below requires a trained meteorologist to interpret.
For information on how well computer models perform, please visit the HPC (Hydrometeorological
Prediction Center) web page that summarizes computer
model strengths and weaknesses.
