------- How is Tuesday's Outside Temperature Determined?

[thatsright]

I mean like, sure it will be 60 degrees outside here in Boston; so sez the weatherman on TV. But how does HE know? What tells him this. What?s the ole' secret? I bet a computer just tells him....the lazy bastard.

But seriously.....

 

[Syringer]

Computer models. I believe they compare past recordings to what they see currently and extrapolate how the weather is going to be..

 

[Rubycon]

Monostable mulitvibrator set up in reverse counting mode using a diode transducer. The final count is the temperature in degrees.

Well that's how we do it. There's over 650 temperature sensors onboard monitoring all sorts of things.

 

[thatsright]

Anyone else?

The "weather" moves from southwest to northeast, at least in the northeastern US. That includes precipitation as well as large masses of warm or cold air. So based on what is happening in other parts of the country they can make guesses as to what the weather will be like in Boston. It's a lot more complicated than that though.

Well I know how the weather works generaly. What I'd like to know is the method used, or the technology used to determine air temprature in the future.

Why do you think we have time machines for? :|

 

[allisolm]

I don't know how it's decided but this morning I looked at the temp as projected on the bedroom ceiling and it read 140 degrees F. I nudged my husband who cracked an eye open, verified the 140 and mumbled "welcome to Hell" before falling back to sleep. I don't even want to know what was going on. I'm pretty sure the weatherman had not predicted a high today anywhere near that.

Please stop. You're just making yourself sound awkward, not to mention the fact that you missed the question.

He's not asking how they measure the current temperature, he's asking how they predict what the temperature will be.

You're trying too hard to sound smart on a forum.

The correct answer is that they wire a flux capacitor in line with a Radio Shack digital thermometer.

There are so many things that go into these computer models, it's amazing....

Different things like temperatures at different heights in the atmosphere, jet stream, etc...the computer can predict with a degree of certainty where systems are going to move.

 

[Epic Fail]

I read somewhere that a groundhog is part of the equation.

 

[Kalvin00]

Read this page.

I once fed a groundhog a flux capacitor, and it told me that spring will come early in 5 years.

 

[Semidevil]

differential equations and time series analysis

if not then....

How is Tuesday's Outside Temperature Determined?

...very carefully.

Please ask for a refund on your sarcasm detector. Yours is obviously defective. :disgust:

How many circuits have you designed? That's actually a legitimate description but you obviously have no clue except perhaps to google things and piecemeal something together that may be close.

 

[bleuless]

you said multivibrator....

That's her M.O.

Not sure what you mean but I swear when I replied originally it read "Today's" instead of "Tuesday's".

Big difference between OAT and a 48 hour (or more) forecast. I'll stick with the nowcast - it's never wrong.

My sarcasm detector is broken. I knew I shouldn't have bought one from you on Ebay.

And about designing circuits, I made a time machine a few hundred years ago.

Hence my reply.

My sarcasm detector isn't broken, it's your reading comprehension detector that's broken.

And if you try to reply with a witty post, I'll use my time machine to prevent it.

 

[FoBoT]

they have a gameboy hooked up to the weather machine, it figures it out

So, become a meteorologist.
