A METEOROLOGICAL PROBABILITY SYSTEM FOR PLANNING CARRIER OPERATIONS

Abstract

This report provides a method, not previously available, for objectively interpreting a meaningful form of climatology in ocean areas where few observation records exist. Estimation of meteorological probabilities and their practical applications are explained with examples. Operational data for estimating two types of meteorological probability values are provided. Meteorological probability estimates are concluded to be significantly valuable when planning carrier operations in regions located between widely-spaced reporting stations.
