Analyze weather maps, interpret radar and satellite data, and issue forecasts using the same tools professional meteorologists use.
Check the ForecastAnalyze real weather data, draw fronts, and issue your own forecasts to compare against actual outcomes.
Interpret radar reflectivity and velocity data to identify precipitation types, intensities, and severe weather signatures.
Analyze visible, infrared, and water vapor satellite imagery to track cloud systems and moisture patterns.
Compare temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather trends across regions and decades.
Study atmospheric layers, composition, pressure, temperature profiles, and energy balance. Understand how solar radiation drives weather patterns.
Analyze air masses, fronts, mid-latitude cyclones, tropical storms, and mesoscale convective systems with surface and upper-air maps.
Interpret station models, radar reflectivity, satellite imagery, and numerical weather prediction output to create accurate forecasts.
My students issue their own forecasts and track accuracy. They compete to beat the models. Engagement is through the roof.Mr. Stanton, Earth Science
Learning to read radar data and understand fronts made me appreciate every weather forecast on the news.Megan F., Grade 10
