Fleet Numerical Weather Central (FNWC) was the predecessor to the current Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC). It was established for providing numerical weather prediction services for naval operations.
No longer active; see FNMOC website:
Goals
- Deliver accurate weather forecasts for naval operations.
- Provide oceanographic and atmospheric data to enhance naval safety and mission success.
- Support meteorological and oceanographic research.
Sponsor
Creation
FNWC was established in 1961 at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. It was part of the Navy's effort to apply new computational techniques to weather prediction, with no specific legislation cited but under the broader mandate of naval operations support.
Funding
Funding for FNWC came from the Department of Defense through the U.S. Navy's budget, specifically allocated for meteorological and oceanographic support. Specific amounts are not publicly specified, but it was part of ongoing military funding. Funding transitioned with the organization to its current form, FNMOC.
Leadership
The title of the leader of the program was Commanding Officer.
Website
The FNWC has been succeeded by FNMOC: https://www.metoc.navy.mil/fnmoc/
