Advances In Weather Analysis And Forecasting

摘要

Meteorologists have long been blamed for making incorrect forecasts amid unpredictable weather conditions, and the public proves a harsh critic when its favorite sporting event is unexpectedly rained out or a picnic is flooded. But in recent years, the field of meteorology has made great strides in the science of weather analysis and in improving the accuracy of weather forecasts, whether that means helping people decide when to wear long sleeves or providing the public with enough advanced warning of a tornado. Ultimately, these successes have also enhanced meteorologists' ability to understand and forecast the weather.
