CATCC provides these for pre-launch briefs.

CATCC’s role in pre-launch briefs is to arm aircrew with the plan and the weather picture needed for safe launch and recovery. The Launch and Recovery Pre-Launch Information Brief is the key document it provides, outlining the schedule and sequencing for launches and recoveries and the weather data that drives those operations. Including the ship’s weather tells crews what to expect on the deck—winds, visibility, and other conditions that affect catapult launches and aircraft recoveries. Including bingo field weather gives the crew the forecast for the backup landing site, so they can decide whether to proceed, hold, divert, or recover elsewhere if conditions on the ship aren’t suitable. Other items like general flight schedules, maintenance status, or deck logs aren’t the specific focus of the CATCC pre-launch briefing for launch and recovery operations, and emergency procedures or logistics belong to other parts of carrier operations.
