32.1.1. Overview. Weather services are required and dedicated to supporting safe, effective airfield, flying and ground operations, and resource protection for Keesler Air Force Base (KAFB) agencies, tenant units, and transient aircrews. These services are essential to the safety and success of the 81st Training Wing (TRW) and the 403rd Wing (WG), which carries out Hurricane Hunter and tactical airlift missions. Mission support may periodically require extending airfield and weather service hours beyond normal duty hours, or to 24-hours. Severe weather conditions may require performance of services outside the normal hours of operation in order to provide adequate resource protection to KAFB. Provide all services in accordance with (IAW) applicable directives as listed in Appendix 32A.

32.3. GENERAL INFORMATION.

32.3.1. Hours of Operation. Standard, current operating/open hours are Mon-Fri 24 hours, closed weekends with the exception of 1000-1700L on Unit Training Assembly (UTA) Saturdays and after 0700L on UTA Sundays. (See Appendix 32B) The airfield will be closed on Federal holidays.

Current Normal Duty Hours Weather Station Management 24 Hours (Mon – Fri) Weather Station Operations Mission Weather and Airfield Services are available 24 hours Monday through Friday.

The weather station is closed on weekends with the exception of UTA weekends: 1000-1700L on UTA Saturdays and after 0700L on UTA Sundays

Designated weather personnel are on standby when airfield is closed and recalled in event airfield is opened outside normal operating hours.

32.3.1.1. Outside of normal airfield/duty hours, during holidays, and/or when the base commander deems the airfield is closed, standby weather personnel will be on call for services at any time. See KEESLERAFBI 15-101, Weather Support Procedures, which describes “at any time” reporting, is “as soon as possible”.

32.3.1.2. Outside of normal airfield hours (see Appendix 32B) the flight services section is expected to open the airfield one-hour prior to scheduled take offs and recoveries. Personnel are expected to keep the airfield open through one hour after departure/arrival. Additionally, weather personnel will be required to augment and/or backup observations as required whenever the air traffic control tower is open (60 minutes prior to arrival of through 60 minutes after departure of aircraft/mission).

32.3.1.3. The 53rd Weather Recon Squadron (WRS) mission surges for hurricane and winter storm seasons (June through February) during which support to their mission dictates approximately 140 hours of service outside of the normal airfield operating hours. There have been several occasions in the past that dictated the airfield remain continually open over two (2) to three (3) days to support Hurricane Hunter taskings.

32.3.1.4. The 815th Airlift Squadron’s (AS) operations surge for activities, such as deployments or disaster relief taskings; related support requirements and demands vary considerably. (See Appendix 32B)

32-8

32.3.2. Emergency Situations. These contingencies may require the SP to increase or reduce support i.e., accident and rescue operations, civil disturbances, severe weather, natural disasters (to include hurricanes), military contingency operations and exercises. (See Appendix 32)

32.3.2.1. The hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, with the peak period from mid- August through September. During this period, the SP must be prepared to support the 53 WRS weather taskings outside of normal duty hours with the possibility of continuous airfield operations.

(See Appendix 32B)

32.3.2.2. Weather personnel can expect to brief the Disaster Response Force upwards of four (4) times per day and maintain continuous operations whenever a tropical storm is in the Gulf of Mexico. As required, they are expected to shelter with the Disaster Response Force to continue providing recommendations to the installation commander based on latest storm information.

32.3.2.3. Severe weather season occurs March through August every year. The average number of days with the threat of moderate or severe thunderstorms during this period is 35-50 days. Each of these days can require at least five (5) extra man-hours per day in the Weather Section, assisting on-duty weather technicians with resource protection services (provided in the form of answering telephone and Pilot-to-Metro Service (PMSV) calls, radar watch and general assistance to the duty forecaster). (See Appendix B)

32.3.3. Equipment and Supplies. Base weather currently has the following recurring costs for services; SP will cover these costs. Although items not required, SP has used equipment below an enhancement and backups to the internet.

Hourly, Record Special, and Local Observations

8695 Annually Tracked on AF Form 3803 and compiled in the summary of the 81 OSF product statistics.

Basic Weather Watch (BWW) utilizing MetWatch

4000 Annually AFMAN 15-111 describes procedures for observing sky condition minimum of two (2) times per hour only when certain weather is occurring or forecast to occur based on climatology for Keesler (percent of time with low ceilings, fog, precipitation). Estimated conditions warranting a BWW would occur about 33 percent of the time (10% for ceiling less than 1500 feet and/or visibility less than 3 miles; 7% for precipitation; 10% for fog (estimate); 6% time when conditions forecast but don’t occur). Doing the math: 2 per hour times 17 hrs a day times 355 days = 12,070.

Times 33% = about 4000 occurrences.

Communicate Significant Weather to Operational Weather Squadron

336 Annually Tracked on KAFB/26OWS datasheet located on the 26OWS webpage. Over the past 4 months, 112 actions were logged; this reflects an average of 28 per month or technical estimate of 336 per year.

Standby Weather Personnel on duty in weather station due either to adverse weather (i.e. thunderstorms, hurricanes, high winds, etc.) or to brief and/or take observations related to departures/arrivals after normal airfield hours

120 Annually Standby Weather Personnel on Duty:

Estimate based on:

-Missions that occur after normal airfield hours.

Estimated calculation 4.6 per month x 12= technical estimate of 56 occurrences a year.

Majority related to 53rd WRS hurricane and winter storm taskings.

-Adverse weather that occurs after “normal duty hours” which would require weather personnel to be on duty: Based on climatology [actual occurrences one would expect during the year (32) and number of false alarms (i.e., adverse weather expected, watch issued, weather personnel on duty, no adverse weather actually happens (32) led to a total of 64 occurrences. This leads to a technical estimate of 120 standby occurrences)].
