This chapter builds upon the suggested ways of collecting and storing data outlined in the previous chapter, to show how quickly and easily presentation-quality graphics and sophisticated statistical analyses of meteorological records can be generated using everyday software, assuming a reasonable working knowledge of spreadsheets or other data processing methods. Numerous examples are presented to aid understanding and provide a starting point for those with more limited spreadsheet literacy: there are also many excellent book and video-based tutorials available for all software literacy levels. Readers are encouraged to use these ideas and concepts to develop their own projects using their own observational records. Practice quickly builds into expertise.
