The orange boxes and circles denote tools and workstations for the forecaster and the automated production system, being subject of this procurement. ......................................................................................................... 75 Figure 2. Demonstration of a typical view on a meteorological workstation screen showing a NWP model forecast for surface air pressure (black isobars), precipitation (colored zones), satellite image (grey zones) and observed air temperature (2m height; colored numbers according to temperature reading). Past and future weather conditions can be readily studied e.g. by rolling with the mouse or pointing on the time bar at the bottom of the user interface. Time step (here 1 h) is selectable. ......................................... 76 Figure 3.
