REVIEW QUESTIONS

it is not intended to discuss all of the various GFMPL programs available, only those commonly used by several warfare communities. Table 2-1 lists the most widely used OAML models and table 2-2 lists the data bases contained in OAML. The OAML data bases and models are used in data bases as you progress into a senior Aerographer’s Mate. REVIEW QUESTIONS Q1. What is the purpose of OAML? TESS, IMOSS, MIDDS, and many other environmental prediction systems used throughout the fleet. You will learn much more about the use of OAML models and Q2. What agency is responsible for maintaining OAML environmental data bases and models?
