Aim: How do we put all four
atmospheric variables on a
weather map?
Topic: Meteorology (Unit 6)
Main Idea: Station Models
1) What are the four atmospheric
variables?
 A)
Temperature
 B) Air pressure
 C) Humidity
 D) Winds
Station 1
These are station models. Which of them
represents an area that is warm and about to rain?
Prove it from your ESRT’s.
Station 1
What is a station model?
 It
is a small symbol on a weather
map with all the atmospheric
variables shown.
Station 2
Where does the barometric
pressure go on a station model?
 It
is shown with three numbers in
the upper right corner.
 A=1013.8 mb B=1012.1 mb C=1010.1 mb D=967.9
mb E=994.1 mb
F=982.1 mb
If the number on the station
model is below 500 you should
_________________
__________________; if the
number is 500 and up you
should ____________________
________________________.
Exit Card:
1) Convert the
pressure
2) What is the
wind speed and
direction
3) What is the
present
weather?
 Answer
Do Now
the questions on the back of
yesterday’s notes.
4) How do we convert atmospheric
pressure to put onto a station
model?
 We
use the last three numbers to put
it on the station model.
