Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The SAWS could employ absolute values to calculate the distance between two of their weather stations by using the latitude and longitude coordinates of each station. By taking the absolute difference between the latitudes and longitudes of the two stations, they can calculate the overall distance between them. This calculation would be important for determining the proximity of stations to each other and for understanding the weather patterns in different regions of South Africa.
