Question

2 name two modern tools used in weather forecasting today

3 what do satellites do for weather forecasting?

4 how do weather forecasts help people?

5 what do computer models simulate?

Explanation:

1. For question 2: Identify common modern tools used in professional weather forecasting.
2. For question 3: Outline the core functions of satellites in weather prediction.
3. For question 4: List practical, real-world benefits of weather forecasts for people.
4. For question 5: Describe the key systems computer models replicate for weather analysis.

Answer:

1. Weather satellites and numerical weather prediction computer models
2. Satellites capture global images of cloud patterns, atmospheric moisture, temperature, and wind data; they track storms, monitor climate trends, and provide data for forecasting models.
3. Weather forecasts help people plan daily activities (like outdoor events or travel), prepare for severe weather (such as hurricanes or blizzards) to stay safe, and guide economic decisions (like agricultural planting or energy production).
4. Computer models simulate atmospheric conditions, including temperature changes, wind patterns, pressure systems, precipitation, and how these factors interact over time to predict future weather.
