THE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON A COMPLEX OPERATION,

Abstract

The integrated effect of the environment on a complex operation is discussed and a method for quantitative evaluation presented. The method may be employed directly in a climatological study of an operation. The total cost of an operation can be obtained in this way using climatological information and forecast data. A comparison of these costs can be used to determine the relative value of forecasts. The method is applied to a reconnaissance operation as an example of its use in a climatological study. (Author)
