Single-station analysis

From Glossary of Meteorology



single-station analysis[edit | edit source]

The analysis (or reconstruction) of the weather pattern from more or less continuous meteorological observations made at a single geographic location; or the body of techniques employed in such an analysis.

The extension of these techniques to produce a weather forecast is known as single-station forecasting.
