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.
What we do: NSSL researchers use a 3-D cloud model to investigate the full life-cycle of thunderstorms. The model has shown how graupel or other droplets could help form regions of lower charge within the storm. NSSL team launches an instrumented weather balloon to study lightning in northern Florida.
