This work flow chart sample was redesigned from the picture "Weather Forecast" from the article "Simulation Workflows".

"(1) The weather is predicted for a particular geological area. Hence, the workflow is fed with a model of the geophysical environment of ground, air and water for a requested area.
(2) Over a specified period of time (e.g. 6 hours) several different variables are measured and observed. Ground stations, ships, airplanes, weather balloons, satellites and buoys measure the air pressure, air/ water temperature, wind velocity, air humidity, vertical temperature profiles, cloud velocity, rain fall, and more.
(3) This data needs to be collected from the different sources and stored for later access.
(4) The collected data is analyzed and transformed into a common format (e.g. Fahrenheit to Celsius scale). The normalized values are used to create the current state of the atmosphere.
(5) Then, a numerical weather forecast is made based on mathematical-physical models (e.g. GFS - Global Forecast System, UKMO - United Kingdom MOdel, GME - global model of Deutscher Wetterdienst). The environmental area needs to be discretized beforehand using grid cells. The physical parameters measured in Step 2 are exposed in 3D space as timely function. This leads to a system of partial differential equations reflecting the physical relations that is solved numerically.
(6) The results of the numerical models are complemented with a statistical interpretation (e.g. with MOS - Model-Output-Statistics). That means the forecast result of the numerical models is compared to statistical weather data. Known forecast failures are corrected.
(7) The numerical post-processing is done with DMO (Direct Model Output): the numerical results are interpolated for specific geological locations.
(8) Additionally, a statistical post-processing step removes failures of measuring devices (e.g. using KALMAN filters).
(9) The statistical interpretation and the numerical results are then observed and interpreted by meteorologists based on their subjective experiences.
(10) Finally, the weather forecast is visualized and presented to interested people." [iaas.uni-stuttgart.de/ forschung/ projects/ simtech/ sim-workflows.php]
The example "Workflow diagram - Weather forecast" was drawn using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Workflow Diagrams solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector clipart library Aircraft contains 19 images of aerial vehicles and aviation objects. Use the vector stencils library Aircraft to draw aviation illustrations, presentation slides, infographics and diagrams using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software. "Civil aviation is one of two major categories of flying, representing all non-military aviation, both private and commercial. Most of the countries in the world are members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and work together to establish common standards and recommended practices for civil aviation through that agency. Civil aviation includes two major categories: - Scheduled air transport, including all passenger and cargo flights operating on regularly scheduled routes; and - General aviation (GA), including all other civil flights, private or commercial. ... Some countries also make a regulatory distinction based on whether aircraft are flown for hire like: - Commercial aviation includes most or all flying done for hire, particularly scheduled service on airlines; and - Private aviation includes pilots flying for their own purposes (recreation, business meetings, etc.) without receiving any kind of remuneration. All scheduled air transport is commercial, but general aviation can be either commercial or private. Normally, the pilot, aircraft, and operator must all be authorized to perform commercial operations through separate commercial licensing, registration, and operation certificates." [Civil aviation.

The vector stencils library "Healthcare transport" contains 12 medical vehicle icons.
Use it to design your healthcare workflow diagrams, flowcharts and infographics with ConceptDraw PRO software.
"An emergency vehicle is any vehicle that is designated and authorized to respond to an emergency in a life-threatening situation. These vehicles are usually operated by designated agencies, often part of the government, but also run by charities, non-governmental organizations and some commercial companies. ...
There are many types of emergency vehicle, dependent on jurisdiction. Some examples of emergency vehicles include: ...
Medical:
* Motorcycle ambulance,
* Rapid response vehicle (car),
* Ambulance,
* Air ambulance,
* Organ transplant or blood supply vehicles." [Emergency vehicle. Wikipedia]
The medical vehicle icon set example "Design elements - Healthcare transport" is included in Healthcare Workflow Diagrams solution from Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
