The US was already geared for war, that's what the cold war was all about. However, US tactics and machines of war had to be modified somewhat for the Vietnam War.
Modern meteorologists use the numerical weather prediction method.  This method uses mathematical smulations of the earth to predict  the weather. A number of simulations ar â¦ e run in different countries  worldwide, using weather observations relayed from weather  satellites and radar as inputs to the simulations.
NSSL researchers were pioneers in the science of launching instrumented weather balloons into thunderstorms. This capability allowed NSSL to collect weather data in the vicinity of tornadoes and drylines, and all the way up through a thunderstorm, gathering critically needed observations in the near-storm environment of thunderstorms.
