The figure shows the process which is used to collect up-to-the-minute information on the weather by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

There are four stages in the process. Firstly, information is collected through various channels including satellite, radar and drifting buoy. The data then goes through the analysis and forecasting stage. Next, in the stage of preparing the broadcast, all the analysis and information from various sources in the second stage will be collected and processed by computers. Finally, it is broadcasted to different media such as television and radio.

Looking at the second stage, there are three different ways to present the data collected from satellite, radar and drift buoy. Satellite photos are created by satellite stations. Radar screens and synoptic charts are created by radar stations and drift buoys respectively. The information collected by radar stations can also come from satellites and drift buoys can receive information from both satellites and radar stations.
