The Weather Bureau Record of War Administration
Created by the U.S. Weather Bureau, this World War II era record was compiled in 1946 by William Weber and details the reorganization and expansion of Weather Bureau services to provide war specific services such as Thunderstorm Warnings for Ammunition Plants (p. 32) and the addition of more Women to the Weather Bureau workforce (p. 65).
Military Weather Calculations for the NATO Theater
Fourteen weather data analyses applied to military problems are presented. These are selected from past, hitherto unpublished, contributions to Rand Corporation research projects. Emphasis is divided between (1) statistical presentations of weather variables that affect aircraft operations--mainly ceiling and visibility, jointly and independently--and (2) model-generated statistics of atmospheric parameters that affect visual and infrared transmission, and target detection probabilities. Calculations are for the NATO theater with heavy emphasis on Germany. (Author).
Metmen in Wartime
Everybody's talking about the weather... Metmen in Wartime is a detailed account of the meteorological services in practice in Canada during World War II. Why were forecasts so crucial during the war? For anti-submarine warfare and convoy protection operations from bases along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. But Metmen is also a thorough examination of the men behind the forecasts: the nearly 400 science graduates who became "metmen" and were stationed at flying training schools. This book explains the importance of aviation weather forecasts and instruction in meteorology for student pilots at the Royal Canadian Air Force stations established under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Cooperation with the United States military weather services is also examined.
