The North Atlantic weather war occurred during World War II. The Allies (Britain in particular) and Germany tried to gain a monopoly on weather data in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Meteorological intelligence was important as it affected military planning and the routing of ships and convoys. In some circumstances, visibility was necessary (photographic reconnaissance and bombing raids) and in others concealment (keeping ship movements secret or suppressing enemy air activity). D-day planning was greatly affected by weather forecasting; it was delayed by one day in the expectation that a storm would blow out and sea conditions would be acceptable. British sources of data included ships at sea and the weather stations at Valentia Observatory and Blacksod Point, in neutral Ireland;

  • Wetterstationen in der Arktis wurden von der Wehrmacht zur dauerhaften Ermittlung von Wetterdaten zwischen 1941 und 1945 errichtet. Bereits zwischen 1912 und 1914 wurde das Geophysikalische Observatorium Ebeltofthafen von Deutschland auf Spitzbergen betrieben. (de)

  • La guerre météorologique de l'Atlantique nord s'est déroulée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les Alliés (la Grande-Bretagne en particulier) et l'Allemagne étaient en compétition pour l'accès à des données fiables dans l'Atlantique nord et l'Arctique pour leurs services de météorologie militaire. Ces données étaient importantes car elles affectaient la planification militaire et le routage des navires et des convois. Dans certaines circonstances, une bonne visibilité était nécessaire (reconnaissance photographique et bombardement) et dans d'autres, elle était défavorable (en révélant les mouvements des navires secrets ou en permettant l'activité aérienne de l'ennemi). (fr)
  • Con guerra meteorologica si intende l'insieme delle operazioni aeree e navali su piccola scala portate avanti, tra il 1940 e il 1945, dalle forze armate della Germania nazista e dagli Alleati (principalmente Regno Unito e Stati Uniti d'America) nel teatro del Mar Glaciale Artico, durante i più vasti eventi della seconda guerra mondiale.
