Weather Specialty Team (WST)

A Weather Specialty Team (WST) is a team of specialized weather personnel that provides weather support for air operations in an Air Operations Center (AOC). In an AOC the WST falls under the control of the Combat Operations Division (COD). The team is typically composed of meteorologists, weather technicians, and other weather specialists who are responsible for gathering, analyzing, and disseminating weather information to support air operations.

The primary role of the WST is to provide weather information to all divisions of the Air Operations Center to include (COD, CPD, ISRD, STRAT, and AMD). The WST works closely with the Chief of Combat operations (CCO), Senior Air Defense Officer (SADO), Senior Offensive Duty Officer (SODO) and Tanker Airlift Duty Officer (TADO) to ensure that weather information is integrated into overall air operations planning and execution.

The WST is typically staffed by Air Force personnel who have specialized training in weather operations, including meteorology, weather analysis, and weather forecasting.
