Abstract:

This report summarizes the work accomplished under Contract No. F19628-89-C-0190. Three primary activities and products resulted from the work 1 The development, implementation, and updating of the Cloud Information Reference Library and Archive CIRLA. CIRLA provides information in cloud simulations, models, algorithms, analyses, and databases, and has recently been made accessible via Internet. 2 Three major conferences on Cloud Impacts on DoD Operations and Systems CIDOS - CIDOS-8990, CIDOS-91, and CIDOS-93. The CIDOS conferences have evolved from evaluation by the DoD atmospheric science community of the impacts of clouds on military weapons systems, sensors, and operations, through the inclusion of civilian applications, to DoD simulation activities. 3 A survey of the DoD modeling and simulation MS communitys requirements for environmental models and databases. An overall strategy that planned and executed the survey task, including development of a comprehensive Requirements Questionnaire, was presented for Air Force and E2DIS Project approval.
