Capt. Haley Homan, Train, Advise, Assist Command – Air (TAAC-Air) weather advisor, demonstrates how to use a Kestrel – an instrument to measure temperature, moisture, wind speed and pressure. The Afghan Air Force (AAF) weather forecasters participated in the practical exercise and reported weather observations such as visibility, sky condition and wind direction, which the Kestrel cannot sense.
