About

Weather has a significant impact on the planning and execution of joint force operations. The physical conditions of the terrestrial and space environment can create dilemmas for adversaries and optimize friendly freedom of action and maneuver. Early applications of weather operations focused on providing basic forecasts. Since then, United States Air Force (USAF) weather operations have grown, providing enhanced situational awareness and giving national leaders timely environmental information to make informed decisions. Weather's inherent complexity, variability, and broad impact can be leveraged to create additional courses of action for operations. Weather enables the United States (US) to project power effectively, adapting to environmental conditions across all domains and providing a critical advantage.
