How did the first weather appear in the world?

Weather forecast has gradually become a part of our life, so how did the world's first weather map appear and what did it look like? In fact, it is not easy to predict the weather accurately. The weather will be affected by many factors, such as air mass, topography and water regime. In addition, some random factors can also lead to weather changes. Therefore, the weather forecast is a historic issue.

With the exploration of the weather, the weather map becomes more and more detailed and the weather forecast becomes more and more accurate. However, the early weather map only recorded the simultaneous meteorological observations in different places on a map with special numbers and symbols, and made a simple analysis and research on the map. Forecasters can know the weather situation in a large area or even the whole world in a short time through weather maps, and predict the future weather changes through continuous weather maps. There is no global uniform observation rule for early meteorological observation, and the obtained data will not be exchanged in real time. The first weather map in the world was drawn during the Crimean War.

1854165438+10, the famous Crimean war in history was in full swing. The British and French allied forces surrounded Sevastopol, and the Marines were preparing to land in the Black Sea port of Barakava. At that time, strong winds and huge waves suddenly appeared in the Black Sea. The British and French allied forces collapsed without fighting, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

On receiving the news, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte immediately ordered the Paris Observatory to investigate the cause of the storm. Le friel, director of the Paris Observatory, took over this important task. Before and after the storm, he collected meteorological reports from meteorologists all over the world. After the report was collected, he also filled in the weather map. After careful analysis, he found that the storm moved from northwest to southeast. Spain and France were also affected a day or two before the storm reached the Black Sea.

After analysis, Lefry believes that if Europe has weather stations along the Atlantic coast, storm information can be sent to the British and French fleets in time, and the British and French fleets can be protected from storms. Leflille's proposal has been echoed by many countries. 1856, France established the first formal meteorological service system. Other European countries, as well as the United States and Japan, have also organized the construction of observation networks. They have begun to send the meteorological observation results of the day, draw weather maps and provide weather observation and forecasting services. Weather chart is the beginning of modern weather forecast. It expands the weather forecast from one point to another area and gradually matures.
