This project is one coordinated component of a larger effort to address specific operational decisions that are affected by meteorology and oceanography (METOC) processes. Our goal is to develop a high-resolution weather data fusion (NOWCAST) system capable of blending an ensemble of highly perishable, on-scene environmental data together in the context of operational situational awareness to provide a consistent, integrated picture of the current, real-time METOC impacts both in the target area and within the battlegroup. This system will benefit the warfighter by providing a common environmental situational awareness capability that can be accessed directly over the network by decision makers whenever their mission has environmental dependencies. The situational awareness of weather hazard information is intended primarily to support naval aviation in time critical strike missions but may also be used to improve safety, navigation, ship self defense, and weaponeering. The NOWCAST system will be owned, operated, maintained, and quality assured by the METOC office.
