| Abstract/Contents: | Details an interview with meteorologist Tom Skilling, discussing some of the technology used in weather forecasting. States that "predictions of temperature for the next two days are correct to within five degrees more than 90% of the time. Forecasts at a range of seven days are as accurate as two-day predictions were in the late 1960s." Details Skilling's forecasting methodology, explaining that he "[receives] temperature and precipitation projections from 33 runs of 10 different computer models," averages the numbers, and corrects for cloud cover, wind, and distance over water. |
