Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008486
The process of interpreting meteorological data from a specific geographic area to understand the current state of the atmosphere and its likely evolution. It involves synthesizing observations from surface stations, weather balloons, radar, and satellites to create a coherent picture of weather patterns. This analysis forms the basis for regional weather forecasts and is displayed on synoptic charts showing features like fronts, pressure systems, and jet streams.
