October 1, 2001... As the United States and Britian begin military attacks against Afghanistan, many people find the weather in that area of interest. Because of the harsh weather in the Afghanistan mountains, military operations there can be very difficult. Below are some resources on Afghanistan weather.

"In the Afghan mountains, where Osama bin laden and his gang may be hiding, military meteorologists will have their work cut out for them. Mountain meteorology can be tricky: The gnarled terrain plays maliciously with moist air masses as they lumber up and down the slopes. Hence, mountain weather conditions may change in a moment. Surprise blizzards can entomb troops and transport vehicles -- be they trucks or donkeys. Sudden wind shear might flick a helicopter to the ground like a gnat. Unexpected fogs can blind aircraft pilots, fatally diverting them into peaks." -- San Francisco Chronicle Article On Military Meteorologists In Operation Enduring Freedom 10/07/01
