Olympic Forecast



Environment Canada faces a doughty task at the Vancouver games, making sure it’s Olympic weather forecast win gold for accuracy. CBC’s Christ Brown got a sneak peak some performance and enhancing equipment.

For Olympic weather forecast what would be more perfect than having on of these. “It’s a real crystal ball.” “It is, it’s a real crystal ball.” If only were that easy. This crystal ball only measure sunlight, they wouldn’t tell you if rain or snow or wind is on the way. So environment Canada has to sample some other niftiest weather prediction tools ever for the 2010 Olympics.

“There are  _  on the planet scale, they  _ are tiny and there are all kinds of weather can coming and scale of minutes.”

Some thirty weather stations have been set up around the Elpane Valley, they are filled with instrument accurate enough to predict the weather in the area the sides and city block and updated every 15 minutes. That annoying sound comes from a wind profiler. It’s essential a giant speaker that should sound waves two thousand meters in to the air which are then tracked by the radar. “And from that we can calculate the speed of the wind by the way and its move.” That give Chris Doyle and his team a 30 minutes a head’s up on what weather here in squmash is on the way to whistler. The gages so are no substitute for people.

“This feels like the Olympic weather forecasting, this is the bias alongside.” Andrew Teakles won himself prestigious place in the forecasting team. He’ll be at the ski-jump. “I find it kind of thrill to there and build and provide that information.”

But the forecasters and the athletes all know a scope up could cost someone a medal.

“You can’t control it, but I mean guys lose the races all the time based on the weather.”

And so no expense’s been spent still, for a forecaster you think this will be hard to resist. “Have you ever come over and wave your hands over and look for some deviance operation.” “Often.”

Come Olympic time and there are only every a bit of advice they can get.
