Meteorology
| Marine weather forecasting is vital to U.S. Navy operations and the overall safety of the fleet. Innovations such as high-speed numerical computer forecasting and environmental satellite sensing have greatly enhanced our ability to provide timely and accurate forecasts. Detailed knowledge of the Earth's atmosphere provides tactically important information for aircraft operations, weapons effectiveness, sensor performance, and mission planning. Navy meteorology products are distributed through several NMOC commands including JTWC, NOOC, and FNMOC. |
