Reports Advise Army of
Sudden Changes in Weather

The primary purpose of the army
air forces weather service is to pro-
vide reasonable accurate forecasts
of future weather. A knowledge of
present weather conditions is, for
most types of operations of little
value if sudden marked changes are
pending and forecasts of the changes
are not available.
All branches of the army need
weather forecasts. An army that
conducts operations without keeping
its staff advised of prospective
weather changes is imposing a Sc

flight mission is conducted the flight
commander should have an accurate
knowledge of weather conditions to
be expected during the flight, other
wise both personnel and equipment
may be subjected to unnecessary
hazard.
All army air forces weather fore
casting stations furnish medium and
short range forecasts. Short range
forecasts are the most accurate type
of forecasts made. Therefore, they
should be given to every flight COM
mander just prior to his take-off
These forecasts should give the
weather conditions to be encoun-
tered, including state of the weather,
that is, whether the sky is overcast
or clear or with broken or scattered
clouds; the type and intensity of pre-
cipitation; the height of the ceiling;
the visibility; the wind speed and
direction, both at the surface and
aloft; any hazards to flight, such as
fog, icing areas, fronts, ETC.. and any
special phenomena, such as lorna
does. Medium range forecasts are
used for planning flight operations.
Also short and medium range fore
casts are necessary in the case of
a very long flight requiring to 10
hours or more for completion. For
long flights, if the weather is at all
uncertain or changeable, the flight
commander should endeavor to OBJ
tain, if possible, one or more addi-
tional short range forecasts by "a
dio, especially for the period of land
ing and for the terminal of the
flight.
Pilots must know the ceiling,
amount of cloudiness, and types of
clouds to be encountered on a flight
for the entire route in order to plan
and execute the flight properly. If
a cloud ceiling exists, the pilot must
either fly underneath it, fly on instru-
ments in the clouds, or climb through
and fly on top of the clouds. Fly
ing at low altitude is usually haz-
ardous and particularly so at night
or in billy or mountainous country
with low visibility. Low ceiling or
instrument weather at the point of
takeoff should ordinarily be no him
drance to individual planes, provid-
ed the weather at the final destina-
ton is suitable for safe descent.
However, instrument weather offers
a very definite handicap to a for
nation of planes. The types of
clouds also should be considered if
instrument flight is to be made,
as they will indicate the smoothness
or roughness of the air. Instrument
flight in clouds where thunderstorms
or icing may be encountered in
wolves hazard to the aircraft that
must be balanced against the mill
tary importance of continuing the
mission. Thus, the pilot is much
concerned with the ceiling and
clouds to be found on every flight.

Clear Weather Is Needed
For Reconnaissance Aviation

The primary mission of observa-
ton and reconnaissance aviation be-
ing to observe and report, their
operations are facilitated by high
ceilings and excellent visibility over
the area where they operate. Recon
Nuisance aviation must operate
great distances over enemy terri
tory where weather conditions may
or may not be known. Whether or
not this weather is known will de-
pend in a large measure upon the
reconnaissance aviation itself since
one of its missions will be to make
weather reports from points over
enemy territory. Bombardment avi-
alton will also make a certain num-
Der of weather reports, and if these
are sufficient in number and cover
enough territory, it may be possible
to make fairly accurate forecasts
of weather for the following day.
The capabilities of reconnaissance
aviation in the executions gifts tasks,
are definitely limited by weather,
particularly in the matter of visibili-
ty and wind Their effect must,
therefore, always be considered in
planning missions to determine radi-
us of operation and number of air
craft required.
Bombardment aviation has proba-
bly, the greatest need for weather in
formation. Bombardment units may,
and frequently WILL be called upon
to perform their own reconnais-
sanCe. Like reconnaissance units,
tances and return to their home
airdromes with gas tanks nearly
empty. A forecast before take-off
of weather to be encountered upon
return is essential. Bombardment
aircraft may pass through much bad
weather en- route to and from their
objective, but to avoid wasted eff
fort it is very important that the
weather be suitable at the objective
for bombing, and that this be known
before take-off. Detectives should be
chosen, when possible, based on the
weather forecast; that is, detectives
should be chosen for which weather
conditions will be most suitable.
Within the theater of operations,
there will normally operate an air
task force and ground force. The
air task force may have its units
scattered throughout the theater.
There are one or more air bases,
one or more sub-air bases, and then
the various combat units. If wealth
er reports are required from points
within an area where no weather
stations are located, special observ-
er stations must be established at
these points. Such weather observ-
er stations will be established, where
needed, within both the combat zone
and the communications zone.

Clear Dry Weather Permits
Attack by Air-Ground Team

l. In clear dry weather, the air.
ground team can launch an attack
most effectively. Under these condi-
tons the attackers must have air
superiority. These conditions per-
NIT the use of all types of air sup
port, minimize the problems of OBJ
servation and recognition of friendly
and enemy aircraft and troops, and
insure the maximum mobility Of
ground forces.
2. Dry weather with low clouds
and good visibility permits limited
air-ground operations. The types of
attack by supporting aircraft are
restricted This kind of weather is
fairly favorable to the operation of
aircraft carriers even in areas con-
trolled by land-based aircraft since
the field of vision of the patrolling
aircraft is greatly restricted.
8. Dry weather with extremely
low clouds and conditions producing
rather poor visibility can be used eff
fectively for the consolidation of
scattered ground units or the move
ment of ground forces into a posi-
ton for attack. These conditions,
even with rain, are favorable for the
movement of an aircraft carrier into
a position for attack when the wealth
err improves. In both cases, the at
lacking forces are relatively free
from observation or attack.

tailed knowledge of existing weather

Soldiers Trained as Weather Observers
To Assist Army in Mapping Plans;
Information Important to Bombers

The strategic and tactical i'm
portance of weather predictions,
both short and long range, in
waging the present war cannot
be overestimated. This is par
ticularly true in regions of the
world where rapidly changing
weather situations are charac-
teristic throughout the year.
Over the Atlantic ocean and in
Europe changing weather is
prevalent in ATTITUDES from the
foot of Italy northward. In east
ern Asia, significant and fire.
quent weather changes occur
throughout the year in ATTITUDES
from Burma northward; while
over the North Pacific ocean,
this is true from a line running
from Tokyo and Los Angeles
northward. Both Berlin and
Tokyo lie within the areas where
the weather element is of i'm
portance the year around. There
fore, any successful strategy
aiming a blow at the heart of
our enemies must include the
weather factor.
To this end, courses have been es-
tablished to train personnel for
weather work in all parts of the
world Among these courses are
those designed to train enlisted men
as weather observers; enlisted men
as forecasters to assist the weather
officers; weather reconnaissance
squadron training course; and an
aviation meteorological cadet course.
In using the weather factor to de-
termine the effectiveness of the air.
ground team or the coordination of
land, sea and air forces, the army
air forces have evolved few simple
rules which have, in part, been veri-
fed from a study of the strategy
and tactics employed by the enemy.
