  <div class="eI2">
The precipitation map - updated every 6 hours - shows the modeled precipitation in mm.
The precipitation areas are encircled 
by isohyets - lines with equal amounts of precipitation. However, modeling precipitation is 
still not very reliable. If you compare the modeled results with observed values you will 
realize that the model is nothing better than a first order approach. Yet this chart is of some 
use for forecasters.<br>
Note: Based on international convention meteorologists use the metric system. 100 mm of 
precipitation is equivalent to roughly 4 inches.

are a method of viewing data from an ensemble forecast.<br>
A meteorological variable e.g. pressure, temperature is drawn on a chart for a number of slightly different model runs from an ensemble. The model can then be stepped forward in time and the results compared and be used to gauge the amount of uncertainty in the forecast.<br>
If there is good agreement and the contours follow a recognisable pattern through the sequence then the confidence in the forecast can be high, conversely if the pattern is chaotic i.e resembling a plate of spaghetti then confidence will be low. Ensemble members will generally diverge over time and spaghetti plots are quick way to see when this happens.<br>

  <div class="eI2"><a href="http://www.knmi.nl/" target="_blank">HIRLAM</a>The international HIRLAM project is a continuing effort to develop and maintain a state of the art high resolution limited area model for operational use in the participating institutes. By 2001 HIRLAM research developments had outstripped the operational HIRLAM system at KNMI through a substantial increase in model resolution and many improvements in the model formulation.<br>

  <div class="eI2">A previs&atilde;o num&eacute;rica do tempo usa o estado instant&acirc;neo da atmosfera como dados de entrada para modelos matem&aacute;ticos da atmosfera, com vista &agrave; previs&atilde;o do estado do tempo.<br>
Apesar dos primeiros esforços para conseguir prever o tempo tivessem sido dados na d&eacute;cada de 1920, foi apenas com o advento da era dos computadores que foi possível realiz&aacute;-lo em tempo real. A manipulaç&atilde;o de grandes conjuntos de dados e a realizaç&atilde;o de c&aacute;lculos complexos para o conseguir com uma resoluç&atilde;o suficientemente elevada para produzir resultados úteis requer o uso dos supercomputadores mais potentes do mundo. Um conjunto de modelos de previs&atilde;o, quer &agrave; escala global quer &agrave; escala regional, s&atilde;o executados para criar previsões do tempo nacionais. O uso de previsões com modelos semelhantes ("model ensembles") ajuda a definir a incerteza da previs&atilde;o e estender a previs&atilde;o do tempo bastante mais no futuro, o que n&atilde;o seria possível conseguir de outro modo.<br>
