A Special Operations Weatherman takes a wind velocity reading while the other 2 members of the Special Operations Weather Team (SOWT) provide cover.
SOWTs covertly deploy in order to carry out meteorological reconnaissance.
The weather conditions during a special operation can make the difference between sucess and failure and SOWTs ensure that the mission planners have an accurate forecast.
