Zusammenfassung:	A foundation for weather support to Precision Guided Munitions operating at visual through microwave wavelengths is established for use by Air Weather Service base weather station forecasters and staff weather officers. Chapter 1 describes the effects of the atmosphere and the earth's surface on electromagnetic energy. Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs) and their sensitivities to the environment are discussed in Chapter 2. The next two chapters discuss weather support concepts and techniques to support PGMs. A glossary of terms, supplemental radiative transfer theory, and example worksheets illustrating support techniques to TV, infrared, and laser designator systems are included in the appendixes.
