Australian Bureau of Meteorology (diagram) 
The diagram below shows how the Australian Bureau of Meteorology collects up-to-
the-minute information on the weather in order to produce reliable forecasts. 
 
 
The figure illustrates the process used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to 
forecast the weather. 
There are four stages in the process, beginning with the collection of information about 
the weather. This information is then analysed, prepared for presentation, and finally 
broadcast to the public. 
Looking at the first and second stages of the process, there are three ways of collecting 
weather data and three ways of analysing it. Firstly, incoming information can be 
received by satellite and presented for analysis as a satellite photo. The same data can 
also be passed to a radar station and presented on a radar screen or synoptic chart. 
Secondly, incoming information may be collected directly by radar and analysed on a 
radar screen or synoptic chart. Finally, drifting buoys also receive data which can be 
shown on a synoptic chart. 
At the third stage of the process, the weather broadcast is prepared on computers. 
Finally, it is delivered to the public on television, on the radio, or as a recorded 
telephone announcement.

Internet Users (line graph)
 
The graph shows the percentage of internet users in three countries from 1999 to 2009. 
The line graph compares the percentage of people in three countries who used the 
Internet between 1999 and 2009. 
It is clear that the proportion of the population who used the Internet increased in each 
country over the period shown. Overall, a much larger percentage of Canadians and 
Americans had access to the Internet in comparison with Mexicans, and Canada 
experienced the fastest growth in Internet usage. 
In 1999, the proportion of people using the Internet in the USA was about 20%. The 
figures for Canada and Mexico were lower, at about 10% and 5% respectively. In 2005, 
Internet usage in both the USA and Canada rose to around 70% of the population, while 
the figure for Mexico reached just over 25%. 
By 2009, the percentage of Internet users was highest in Canada. Almost 100% of 
Canadians used the Internet, compared to about 80% of Americans and only 40% of 
Mexicans.
