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.
The game plan: where we are and where we need to be. NOAAâs Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) maintains two P-3 Orions and a Gulfstream IV jet for hurricane observations. To collect data, NOAAâs hurricane researchers fly aboard these aircraft into and around the periphery of storms. A primary tool they use for measuring the hurricane environment is the dropsonde, a lightly weighted cylindrical tube equipped with a parachute and global positioning system technology.
