Correct choices: 1, 2 and 4.

- Computers compile and merge data from many instruments (satellites, radars, weather stations, buoys, aircraft) into usable datasets.
- They collect and store measurements such as air temperature and air pressure (by receiving sensor data).
- They receive and relay/transmit satellite and other space‑based observations of developing weather systems.

They do not eliminate the need for human meteorologists — humans are still needed to set up models, interpret results, check quality, and communicate forecasts.
