  5. Maritime Operations • Optimum Track Ship Routing • - Hazardous weather advisories • - Divert and sortie recommendations • Joint Typhoon Warning Center • - Pearl Harbor, Hawaii • - Tropical cyclone forecasts for Pacific • and Indian Oceans • Routine ship weather forecasts (WEAX) • Aviation weather forecasts for ship-based helicopters (AVWX)

  6. Aviation Operations Core Aviation Weather Services • Flight Route Weather Briefings via Web-based Flight Weather Briefer • Severe weather warnings and advisories for Navy airfields • Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts for Navy airfields

  7. Fleet Operations “Cradle to Grave” support to: • Carrier Strike Group Commanders and ARG • Joint and contingency operations worldwide SGOT = 1 AGC, 3 forecasters, 4 asst MET = 1 forecaster, 1 asst Onboard personnel work with reachback cells to determine: • Optimum fleet maneuvers • Flight operations • Weapons loadout • Target selection

  8. Strike Group Oceanography Teams (SGOTs) Mission: Provide timely, comprehensive, and tactically relevant meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) products and services in direct support of Numbered Fleet / Navy Component Commanders, Assigned Units / Staff, and other U.S. and Joint / NATO/Coalition Forces as directed. • “Sensible Weather” • Aviation Forecast • Maritime Forecast • Satellite Imagery • Upper Air Soundings • BTs • Obs • Tailored Mission Support TDAs: • NITES • PC-IMAT • AREPS • TAWS CVN / LHD / LHA

  13. Hazardous Seas ROGUE WAVES Catastrophic ocean waves, otherwise known as "freak" or "rogue" waves, are towering waves that can measure 30 to 60 feet in height. While always UNEXPECTED, rogue waves tend to occur more often in particular areas, such as off the eastern coast of South Africa. AGULHAS CURRENT WESTWIND DRIFT WESTWIND DRIFT
