The given process diagram provides information about the process of current and reliable weather forecasts and how this information is conducted by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. A brief examination of this data reveals that there are four stages which are analyzing, forecasting, preparing for electric media sources, and the last one of these is broadcastinge the weather forecast to the public.

First of all, it is obvious that climate information is gathered by three different types of sources, which are satellite, radar and drifting buoy. Firstly, incoming information received by satellite is submitted for analysis in two paths which are presenting to satellite photo and passing to the radar. Following this, with the same data, the weather conditions are collected and predicted by the radar. The conditions are presented on a radar screen and synoptic chart. Furthermore, Drifting buoy illustrates the information that is included on a synoptic chart.

In the second place, as it is exhibited in the process diagram, all data comes from satellite photo, radar screen and synoptic chart, respectively. The whole data got together on the computer to make them ready for broadcasting and this information is distributed to the public via newsreacter, radio, recored announcement about the weather forecasts.
