	Tactics - Step 1 - The Weather Gage
		The weather gage (less commonly weather gauge) is the favorable position of a sailing vessel relative to the wind.
		This is generally any direction upwind; vessels holding the weather gage are able to turn and move quickly downwind to their choice of new positions.
		A ship with the weather gage would steal their wind, as the sails are not only capturing the wind to propel the ship, but blocking the wind from the enemy's sails.

	From The Weather Gage
		Of significant importance was the weather reports by Aerographer's Mates aboard PT Boats in advance of the invasion force.
		The "lack of weather was directly responsible for the success of the operation" culminating with the landing on Leyte and MaCarthur's return to the Philippines on 20 October 1944.
		The weather en route and over the targets was as forecasted, but without adequate observations west and north of Japan a low developed over the East China Sea thus obscuring Chinese landing fields leading to the loss of nearly all the aircraft.

	Nat' Academies Press, Assessing the National Streamflow Information Program (2004)
		A total of 5,293 gage sites are listed under the five criteria but some gage sites serve more than one criterion, so the actual number of gage sites presently identified as NSIP base gages is 4,424 (Figure 3-1).
		For a coastal unit or area of internal drainage, the farthest downstream station or gage location on the largest river is selected, and if this location drains less than 50 percent of the accounting unit area, then the location with the next-largest drainage area on a different river within the accounting unit is selected.
		This periodic reassessment of emerging needs may also support gaging of streams in small watersheds or coastal plains where there is a perception of insufficient coverage and common sense dictates the inclusion of gage sites that may not be included by rigidly applying the five current criteria.

		The types of weather elements measured such as visibility, winds, and type of precipitation were selected to meet the needs of pilots at both large and small airports.
		Present weather conditions are primarily monitored by two sensors, the precipitation identification sensor and the freezing rain sensor.
		In freezing weather, the application of heat to melt snowfall and prevent gage icing also causes evaporation or sublimitation, especially during light freezing rain or snow events at temperatures near 32F.

	Battle of Lowestoft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dutch were desperate to prevent a second English blockade of their ports, after the first was broken off by the English for lack of supplies.
		The British main force to the west of them would have had the weather gage precluding boarding as a viable tactic.
		As the Dutch had again the weather gauge in relation to the British rear, some of their ships wore to the east to attack it.

		The records at the gages in the vicinity of Cumberland, Maryland, were carefully examined and all the crests above the estimated flood stage at each of them are shown in Table 9.
		The U. Weather Bureau gage at the eastern end of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Dam was in operation during this flood and a stage of 15.8 feet was recorded from this gage.

	USNS BRUCE HEEZEN
		Simultaneously, because the importance of accurate short-term weather forecasts had become apparent during the war, a new emphasis was placed on expanding the meteorological sciences and their applications to naval warfare.
		On a day-to-day basis, ocean and weather observations are collected worldwide from civil and military sources, processed ashore, and used to make both oceanographic and meteorological forecasts in near real-time to support the Fleet wherever it is operating.
		With the end of the Cold War, particularly with the diminishing probability of having to fight a major war on the open seas, our emphasis is moving away from studying and understanding the deep ocean basins to supporting the likely necessity of fighting close to land in a regional, expeditionary context.
