Abstract

The Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center provides meteorological and oceanographic support to civilian and military decision makers throughout the agencies planning and executing response to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. This support is in the form of observations, numerical forecast model output, and various products and services based on them. While these functions are not new to Fleet Numerical, the pace of operations and the breadth of the customer base have required a number of innovations in product generation, distribution, and display capabilities.
