MEASUREMENTS AND IDEAS AS THE BASIS FOR WEATHER PREDICTION

1.The link between meteorological measurements and weather forecasting is both necessary and convenient. Necessary because all weather forecasts are grounded in data that have only very recently been measured, and convenient because attention is focused on the central importance of observations for the practice of science. With few other scientific enterprises are observations so vital as in the case of weather forecasting.

2.From the days when early humans ventured from caves and other natural shelters, perceptive individuals in all likelihood became leaders by being able to detect nature's sings of impending snow, rain, or wind, indeed of any change in weather. With such information they must have enjoyed greater success in the search of food and safety, the major objectives of that time.

3.In a sense, weather forecasting is still carried out in basically the same way as it was by the earliest humans – namely, by making observations and predicting changes. The tools used to measure temperature, pressure, wind, and humidity in the late 20th century would certainly amaze them, and the results obviously are better. Yet, even the most sophisticated numerically calculated forecast made on a supercomputer requires a set of measurements of the condition of the atmosphere – an initial picture of temperature, wind, and other basic elements, somewhat comparable to that formed by our forebears when they looked out of their cave dwellings.

4.The primeval approach entailed insights based on the accumulated experience of the perceptive observer, while the modern technique consists of solving equations. Although seemingly quite different, there are underlying similarities between both practices. In each case the forecaster asks “What is?” in the sense of “What kind of weather prevails today?” and then seeks to determine how it will change in order to extrapolate what it will be.
