Computer-Assisted Decision Making for Navy Forecasters
|
Weather affects every Navy operation from personnel, aircraft and ship movement to sensor performance and warfighting tactics. Weather prediction spans a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, sometimes immediate or ten days away, either close to a forecaster's home base, or perhaps thousands of miles out.
With the ever-increasing complexity of Navy operations, so too grows the complexity of forecasting tools and the knowledge required to use them. To do their job, Navy forecasters need comprehensive, time-critical meteorology and oceanography (METOC) forecasts at fine-scale resolutions

The HS:METOC web site is a compilation of information generated and used by researchers investigating meteorological and oceanographic issues affecting the Navy. HS:METOC projects seek to improve the forecaster's ability to accurately predict and efficiently convey weather to decision makers. Researchers study workflow, quantitative mental models, complex visualization, and intelligent agents.
