I do not thing that there is such a meteorology field as military meteorology. There are applications of meteorology which are used in military, there are departments of meteorology such in miliatry schools as Navy Postgraduate School. There are even military satellites, but the just take pictures. The fleet numerical homepages quoted in the article doesn't have anything which is "military" in it "per se". Even aplication such as electro-ocoustic propagation is really application of visibility/optics. US FNMOC are using models developed by the Naval Research laboratory - with mostly civilian meteorologists working there. I think that this entry should be removed. 83.5.132.163 13:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for copying your comment to my user page. Like the leading sentence I drafted almost says, it's just meteorology applied to military purposes. I'd agree that the science (and some of the training) is not distinct; but it does have separate institutions, resources, history and achievements that are notable, so I thought it was a reasonable subject for an article. I also linked up the notable D-Day man at the same time. Other editors can certainly improve what I've started off here. --Mereda 18:24, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the applications and much of the history are distinct and I have no problem with this article with its importance to history, warfighting, and that it happens to be a career field that employs so many meteorologists. Evolauxia (talk) 00:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Pacific meteorology was an abortion why is no mention made of fleet losses in the Pacific due to incompetence in forecasting Category 4 tropical type cylones
How could any meteorology be performed for the Atlantic with radio silence from aircraft over Europe and ships in convoy?

[edit]

The sub-bullets within the list was not logical. For example NMOC was a sub-bullet to FNMOC even though FNMOC is a subordinate command of NMOC, NCDC which is a NOAA agency was also a sub-bullet (which I am removing from the list because it is a civilian Federal Government agency. IMO the see also section probably should be broken up into each branch of service followed by their commands, then have a separate section for notable military meteorologists.
