Automated Weather Network
The AWN is a global network of satellite and
landline circuits linked with Automated Weather Data
Switch (AWDS) computers used to collect and
disseminate environmental data and other aviation
related information. The military segment of the AWN
is composed of two major subsystems: the Air Force
Meteorological Data System (AFMEDS), and the
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) service for all DOD
activities. The center of the network is a computer
complex at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. These computers
collect large quantities of unclassified environmental
observations, forecast bulletins, and specialized
guidance products from a variety of sources, including
the National Weather Service (NWS), the Air Force
Weather Agency (AFWA) at Offutt AFB, Nebraska,
and the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and
Oceanography Center.
International environmental
information is forwarded from the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) data collection
center via the NWS and is also collected and entered
into the AWN through the GWIP network.
The Fleet Numerical Meteorological and
Oceanography Detachment (FNMOD) at Tinker AFB,
Oklahoma, is responsible for coordinating and
validating Navy and Marine Corps environmental data
requirements for the AWN. They also manage and
schedule Navy data requirements on the Fleet
