Adan Castillo

I am an Air Force meteorologist who creates mission-specific weather forecasts using radar, satellite, weather models, and atmospheric data to inform pilots, commanders, and joint operations. I brief flight crews and leadership on hazards like storms, icing, and turbulence, monitor severe weather events, and provide timely warnings to protect personnel and aircraft.

I have directed teams of 10–12 meteorologists supporting operations across the Western Hemisphere and South America, developed training programs that increased operational readiness by nearly 50%, reduced squadron costs by 15% through budget oversight, and improved customer satisfaction by 40% via data-driven process improvements. I mentor new forecasters and collaborate with partner agencies to enhance forecasting accuracy for combat, deployed, and disaster-response missions.
