How To Use Z-Time To Predict The Weather

Hello I'm weather announcer Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village today we're going to be talking about the weather. In this clip we're going to talk about z-time or zed-time depending if you live in Canada or the United States. Z-times stands for zulo time know zulo time is used in order for all meteorological measurements to be made at the same time, this is really the bases for all zulo meteorology so that you can take all of your measurements at the same time to of course to produce a snap shot of the state of the atmosphere. Z-time is basically in reference to the zero degree longitude at Greenwich, England that's in essence the zulo time is. So I have a chart here and basically it shows you the time conversions and the inner circle has the time in Greenwich time the middle circle has the time in central standard time. And the outer circle has the time in central daylight time the most common z-times that your going to come across are zero, as you can see zero in the middle circle here is what we normally uses 6:00, 18 zulo is noon, 6 zulo is midnight, and the 12 zulo is 6:00 am, so you can see that the 18 zero the 6 and the 12 the most common times of day. So normally when I'm looking at the weather I check 6:00 am noon, 6:00 pm and the midnight hour, so 4 times a day those are really the most popular but having to look at this chart will at least familiarize you slightly with zulo time.
