USAF Global Air Land Weather Exploitation Model

The U.S. Air Force is a global force with world-wide mission sets – Global Vigilance, Global Reach, Global Power for America. In order to support Air Force, Army, and Coalition operations, the Air Force runs the Global Air Land Weather Exploitation Model (GALWEM). Underpinned by the United Kingdom Meteorological Office's Unified Model, GALWEM optimizes model output to increase interoperability with coalition partners and effectiveness in specific theaters of operations. Initial operational capability was achieved in October 2015.
