What does the supercomputer generate by calculating the collected observation data?

Supercomputers calculate the collected observation data and generate numerical weather forecasts. The knowledge point involved is "the influence of weather change on human beings", which belongs to the category of primary school science.

Detailed explanation: all meteorological stations carry out meteorological observation at the same time according to the international unified observation norms and obtain various meteorological information; Satellite, radar, ground observation station, sounding balloon and other observation instruments distributed all over the world collect the latest observation data. The computer calculates the collected observation data to generate numerical weather forecast, which provides reference for meteorologists.

Numerical weather forecast and its development in China;

Numerical weather forecast refers to the method of solving the equations of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics describing the weather evolution process by numerical calculation with a large computer according to the actual atmospheric conditions under certain initial and boundary conditions, and predicting the atmospheric motion state and weather phenomena in a certain period in the future.

China began to make numerical weather forecast in 1955, and began to make numerical weather forecast on computer in 1959. 1969, the National Meteorological Administration officially released the short-term numerical weather forecast, and gradually improved the numerical forecast model to realize the automation of data input, mapping, analysis and forecast output. At present, in addition to the daily short-term numerical weather forecast, the medium-term numerical weather forecast is being compiled.
