AFGWC Automated Meteorological Data Processing

Abstract

The present 'state of the art' in automated meteorological data processing as practiced at Air Force Global Weather Central is discussed. This includes major activities from interface with the Department of Defense operated Automated Weather Network (AWN) to the storage of individual reports into the AFGWC data base prior to scientific validity checks. Only the meteorological data processing or decoding of conventional weather reports is discussed. A description of scientific validation of these reports is not included. Computer storage formats for each type of data are shown.
