Ten Guidelines for the Simulation of Weather-Sensitive Military Operations: Weather and Warplanes. II,
Abstract
The report presents directions for quantifying the value of weather service in military operations through the use of computer models. The suggested procedure is: Learn the operation from the operator's viewpoint; Determine acceptable measures of operational effectiveness; Keep the model as simple as credibility allows; Determine the constraints on decision flexibility; Quantify the nonweather decision aspects; Quantify weather effects on each component activity; Determine ways of expressing forecasting skills; Obtain and structure the required weather data, since it is seldom available in the form needed; Establish decision rules and effectiveness criteria; Write credible scenarios for the model. Results from the STRICOM weather/decision model are presented to demonstrate the desirability of the Air Weather Service engaging in such analysis. (Author)
