AFMAN15-129 21 JUNE 2004 131.3.3.1.4. Use scales <strong>and</strong> projections representative to their respective AOR.1.3.3.1.5. Be available in a low b<strong>and</strong>width or a black <strong>and</strong> white print option.1.3.3.2. Units may request specialized or new climatological, terrestrial, or space weather productsby using the SAR function on the Joint <strong>Air</strong> Force <strong>and</strong> Army <strong>Weather</strong> Information Network(JAAWIN), Secure JAAWIN (JAAWIN-S), OWS, or AFCCC web pages.1.3.4. Disseminating <strong>Weather</strong> Products.1.3.4.1. AFWA st<strong>and</strong>ardized products will be available on JAAWIN (<strong>and</strong> JAAWIN-S as applicable).AFWA will transmit those products <strong>and</strong> data requiring assured delivery through a variety ofavenues including common user communication <strong>and</strong> satellite communication networks (e.g., VerySmall Aperture Terminal (VSAT)). AFWA will distribute/deliver alphanumeric data <strong>and</strong> redistributeOWS data (as required) to appropriate CWT clients.1.3.4.2. OWS st<strong>and</strong>ardized products will be available on its Non-secure Internet Protocol RouterNetwork (NIPRNET) (<strong>and</strong> Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), as applicable)web page. OWSs will also transmit required products <strong>and</strong> data via common-user communication<strong>and</strong> satellite communication networks (e.g., NIPRNET, VSAT, Global Broadcast System), asrequired, to provide data for operations in its AOR.1.3.4.2.1. OWSs will disseminate weather watches, warnings, advisories, <strong>and</strong> TAFs (asdescribed in Chapter 3) using the <strong>Air</strong> Force <strong>Weather</strong> Weapons System. Units using anon-st<strong>and</strong>ard dissemination system will ensure warnings, watches, <strong>and</strong> advisories are availableto all users of st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>Air</strong> Force systems. OWSs will post a summary of currentOWS-issued watches, warnings, <strong>and</strong> advisories to its NIPRNET (<strong>and</strong> SIPRNET, as applicable)web page.1.3.4.3. Units participating in Joint, Coalition, or Combined <strong>Operation</strong>s will make environmentaldata <strong>and</strong> products available for dissemination via systems <strong>and</strong> data networks approved by combatantor joint comm<strong>and</strong>s.1.3.5. Meteorological Watch (METWATCH).1.3.5.1. METWATCH procedures will:1.3.5.1.1. Be tailored to significant weather regimes of the AOR.1.3.5.1.2. Ensure weather technicians actively monitor <strong>and</strong> apply Pilot <strong>Weather</strong> Report(PIREPs), <strong>Air</strong> Reports (AIREPs), <strong>Air</strong>man’s Meteorological Information Report, <strong>and</strong> SignificantMeteorological Information Report (SIGMETs), information received from CWTs as partof the “eyes forward” process, <strong>and</strong> other perishable data sources.1.3.5.1.3. Specify the use of Meteorological Satellite (METSAT) imagery. Outline types ofimagery <strong>and</strong>/or enhancement curves most useful for identifying significant weather features.1.3.5.1.4. Detail the use of <strong>Weather</strong> Radar Products available in the theater/region/AOR.1.3.5.1.4.1. Include a regime-based listing directing technicians toward the most applicableproduct for determining significant environmental events associated with that regime.For example: radar products appropriate for determining environmental winds from VelocityAzimuth Display Wind Profile (VWP), use tropopause height <strong>and</strong> height of -20 C iso-
