SUMMARY
In this chapter, we have discussed selected
significant weather warnings and sea advisories. The
importance of verifying these warnings and advisories
was also presented. Means for forecasting evaporative
ducts and altimeter settings was then presented. We also
discussed how aerosols in the atmosphere affect EO
sensors, weapons, and communications. We discussed
WEAX and AVWX formats as well as procedures for
obtaining them.
We listed publications used in
identifying ship-class radars, and then discussed a
means for obtaining aircraft ditch heading products.
Next, we discussed the importance of verifying TAFs,
OPARs, HWDs, and AIRMETs and SIGMETs. Finally,
we outlined the various climatological publications,
their content, and a means for obtaining them.
