The strike warfare community requires accurate meteorological analyses and forecasts to properly plan and effectively execute tactical operations. This point was vividly illustrated during the Persian Gulf War and documented by the Center for Naval Analyses in its quarterly progress report of April-June 1991: Analysis of Desert Storm TACAIR operations indicated that unfavorable environmental conditions were responsible for 29 Navy strike mission aborts or cancellations and for 63 strike diversions from the primary target. Moreover, at least one-third of all missions executed by Navy TACAIR were impaired by restricted meteorologic visibility. Atmospheric effects, Environmental support, Strike warfare.
