“The Met Office had meteorological observers stationed at the front from 1915, providing critical meteorological information which impacted not only allied operations and also warning of conditions which would enable the enemy to launch gas attacks themselves. The operational forecasts proved to be highly important and after what was one of the only allied advances during the battle of Passchendaele one of the senior allied commanders sent a telegraph to Meteor R. E. to thank them for their accurate forecasts which had proven of great assistance in planning the operation.”

　　 “自1915年开始英国气象局在前线站派驻气象观测员提供关键气象信息，这些信息不仅和气象业务联系在一起，还在敌方可能发生毒气攻击的天气条件出现时做出警报。业务预报被证明非常重要，在唯一的联合攻击战役中的巴雪戴尔战役后，联合指挥官致电气象预报人员，感谢他们提供的准确预报在战役计划阶段帮助极大。”

　　  ——从1916年10月24日开始，英国气象局开始不间断地向英军方提供气象预报。近日，英国气象局隆重纪念其为军方提供气象预报信息100周年。英国气象局档案保管员Catherine Ross回忆起该局在一次世界大战期间为英国军队服务时的情景。
