Station Model

A Station Model

Is a system that uses symbols and numbers to communicate the present weather condition.

75% cloud cover

100% cloud cover

West

Wind is described where it is coming from.

Southwest

Wind is described where it is coming from.

North

Long line is 10 knots

Shortline is 5 knots

Speed of Wind is 15 knots.

10 knots

5 knots

snowThere are a lot

of symbols used for the current weather. Some of them are in

pp. 915

This are some of the current weather symbols.

27 / 28 = .96

.96 X 100 = 96%

100 % relative humidity means precipitation.

After 6 hours.

How to get the complete air pressure.

Less than 500, add 10 at the beginning means…
