Ah, at long last a Met Man (appears) to raise his head abve the parapet! Great! Perhaps we can debate the whole rationale for having forcasters on military bases at all.
On the whole when the weather is fine they do very little but when the chips are down and we aircrew need to make a timely decision, they bleet that it is not an 'exact science'. In that case, why spend thousands to have a handful of local forecasters and a purpose built met office?
The introduction of IT systems, literacy amongst aircrew and common sense have easily replaced the seaweed.
Centralise the military met system and save thousands with no effect on operational capabilty!
