Wind probabilities are examined in relation to the establishment of tropical cyclone readiness conditions at Apra Harbor, Guam, and at Kadena AFB, Okinawa, Japan. By fitting a conceptual model to the data, decision zones are delineated for setting each condition. While these results apply strictly to the two stations alone, the concepts are general and can be made to apply to other bases and other problems. (Author)
