Question 10 • {HS} Earth and Space Science Sem. 1

How are computers used in producing weather forecasts?

Answer
A
They compile data from multiple instruments.
B
They collect air temperature and air pressure data.
C
They eliminate the need for human meteorologists.
D
They transmit data on developing weather systems from space.

Explanation

Computers process and combine information gathered by many instruments, such as satellites, radar, and weather stations, to help produce forecasts. The instruments collect and transmit the measurements; computers compile and analyze those data. Computers support meteorologists rather than eliminate the need for them, so the correct choice is “They compile data from multiple instruments.”
