The effective downwind forecast message and the TESS outputs are used mostly for planning purposes. For example. a task force commander may ask what the fallout pattern would be if a 20 KT weapon were to be detonated  at  some  location.  You  would  either  have TESS calculate the parameters for you using the latest upper-vvind data, or you would use an EDF containing the  various  yield  groups  for  the  area  covering  the specific location. The fallout pattern is then plotted on an  appropriate  chart.  In  this  case,  you  would  use  the EDF message CHARLIE group. which is a forecast for all weapons in the 5-KT to 30-KT range. Keep in mind that the TESS RADFO program should not be used for high altitude bursts and deep-water bursts. The actual plotting procedure is discussed in the next section. REVIEW  QUESTIONS Q1. What does the term "NBC warfare" mean? Q2. What NATO publication outlines procedures for reporting   and   plotting   NBC   warning   hazard areas? Q3. Q4. Q5. How many types of NBC reporting messages are used  and  how  do  NBC  messages  for  ground forces  and  NBC  messages  for  naval  forces differ? What is the basic difference between an Effective Downwind  Forecast  (EDF)  and  an  Effective Downwind Message (EDM)? What does yield group "DELTA" indicate in an EDF message? NUCLEAR  EFFECTIVE  DOWNWIND MESSAGE Of  the  six  NATO  NBC  reports  previously mentioned,  you  will  be  primarily  concerned  with  the NAV NBC 3 NUC or NBC 3 NUC when plotting nuclear fallout  patterns. When   a   report   of   evaluated   information   is composed for transmission to Naval Forces, it is entitled NAV NBC 3 NUC, and is referred to as a Naval Effective Downwind  Message,  or  NAV  EDM  These  messages provide positions in geographical coordinates, angular measurements  in  degrees  true,  distances  in  nautical miles, and speeds in knots.
