            • Port Warning & Signals

              • In accordance with international procedure, ports are warned and advised to hoist "Signals" whenever adverse weather is expected over the ports for the oceanic areas, in which it is located due to the tropical cyclone. However, regional difference exists. The warning messages normally contain information on the location, intensity, direction and speed of movement of the tropical cyclone and the expected weather over the port (CWD/RSMC).

            • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Tropical Cyclones

              • More than a hundred Frequently Asked Questions on Tropical Cyclones: What is a tropical cyclone?, Why do ‘tropical cyclones' winds rotate counter-clockwise (clockwise) in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere? What does "maximum sustained wind" mean?, How does it relate to gusts in tropical cyclones?, What is the energy potential of a Tropical Cyclone?, How are low pressure system classified in India? What are the differences between low, depression and cyclone?, etc (CWD/RSMC).

            • Interactive Cyclone Track Map

              • This is an interactive GIS enabled map showing track and intensity of a cyclonic disturbance. The black line indicates the observed track and the red line shows the forecast track. The uncertainty in the track forecast is represented by green colored "cone". The state of sea is defined based on the maximum sustained winds associated with the system and accordingly action is suggested for fishermen (CWD/RSMC).

            • Previsione del vento e mare nel Mediterraneo (LaMMa)

              • L'altezza significativa (Hs o H 1/3) è l'altezza media del terzo di onde più alto. In pratica se si mettono in scala crescente di altezza tutte le onde presenti in un'area della superficie del mare e si prende la media del terzo più alto si ottiene l'altezza significativa. Questa misura ha il vantaggio di essere molto vicina all'altezza che un osservatore esperto rileva ad occhio nudo dal ponte di una barca. Esempio: previsione di mare molto mosso con onde di 2 metri (altezza significativa (Hs) di 2 metri). Che tipo di onde posso incontrare in mare? – 1 onda ogni 2000 (Hmax) avrà altezza di 4 metri – 1 onda ogni 100 (H 1/100) avrà altezza di 3,3 metri ( 2 metri x 1,67) – 1 onda ogni 10 (H 1/10) avrà altezza di 2,5 metri ( 2 metri x 1,27). L'altezza massima dell'onda è il doppio dell'altezza significativa (Info sul modello).

              • Voor veilige navigatie op zee is het belangrijk uw positie en die van obstakels te weten. Posities worden uitgedrukt in coördinaten. Op zee zijn dat vaak geografische lengte en breedte, en hoogte of diepte ten opzichte van een vastgestelde waterstand. Coördinaten hebben alleen betekenis als het coördinatenstelsel bekend is waaraan zij refereren. Dit zijn de coördinatenreferentiestelsels. Een zeevarende moet weten welk coördinatenreferentiestelsel hij gebruikt voor plaatsbepaling.

              • IJsvorming op de vaarweg kan ernstige vertraging veroorzaken voor de scheepvaart. Daarnaast kunnen zogenaamde "ijsdammen" zorgen voor overstromingen. De ijstoestand op de Waddenzee, zeearmen en IJsselmeer is ook afhankelijk van de wind en/of het getij. De berichtgeving op deze pagina omvat de ijsberichtgeving voor de binnenwateren. Op de ijskaart van Nederland is de bevaarbaarheid van vaarroutes aangegeven. De kaart wordt dagelijks ververst zolang er ijs op de binnenwateren ligt en de binnenvaart er mogelijk hinder van ondervindt. Onder de kaart treft u een legenda aan met de verklaring van de in de kaart gebruikte lijnen, kleuren en codes (Vaarweginformatie).

            • Cartes des glaces

              • La formation de glace sur les voies navigables peut ralentir considérablement la navigation. En outre, des embâcles peuvent être à l'origine d'inondations. Le niveau des glaces dans la Mer des Wadden, les bras de mer et l'IJsselmeer dépend également du vent et/ou des marées. Les avis présents sur cette page concernent les avis de glace pour les eaux intérieures. La navigabilité des routes est indiquée sur la carte des glaces des Pays-Bas. Cette carte est actualisée chaque jour tant qu'il y a de la glace sur les eaux intérieures, et que cela peut gêner la navigation intérieure. Sous la carte, une légende clarifie les traits, couleurs et codes utilisés (Service d'information sur les chenaux/Vaarweginformatie).

            • Ice charts

              • Ice on the waterways can cause serious delays for shipping. In addition, so-called "ice dams" can cause flooding. The ice situation on the Waddenzee, estuaries and IJsselmeer also depends on the wind and/or the tide. The notifications on this page relate to ice notifications for the inland waters. The ice chart of the Netherlands shows the navigability of courses of navigation. The chart is updated on a daily basis for as long as there is ice on the inland waters and inland shipping may be affected by it. The key to the symbols underneath the map explains the lines, colours and codes used on the chart (Fairway Information Services/Vaarweginformatie).

It takes account of the location of each satellite relative to the other satellites in the constellation, and their geometry in relation to the GNSS receiver. The smaller the PDOP, the higher the positioning accuracy: PDOP value of 4 or less gives excellent positions, a PDOP of between 4 and 8 is acceptable and a PDOP of 8.0 or more is poor. The maximum recommended PDOP value is 6. Also maps with the number of GNSS satellites.

              • El color nos indica la altura significativa de la mar total, que es la mar resultante de la combinación de mar de viento y mar de fondo (la altura significativa se define como la media aritmética del tercio de olas más altas), y la escala de colores viene a la derecha. Las flechas se refieren a la mar de viento (flecha gris) y la mar de fondo (flecha blanca). La longitud de dichas flechas es proporcional a la altura relativa de cada componente respecto a la altura de la mar total, con lo que nos da idea de cual de ellas es la que predomina, y el sentido de la flecha nos indica el de propagación del oleaje.

The PYG is intended to supplement existing guides and pilot books. The authors and contributors believe it will be more effective than mandatory legislation.

            • Electronic Navigation Systems - Guidance for safe use on leisure vessels

              • The objective of this booklet is to provide guidance on the safe use of electronic navigation and associated systems on leisure vessels. Indeed, good navigational safety is still dependent on the continuous assessment by the skipper/navigator of all the navigation-related information available on the vessel – and not just over-concentrating on some, however beguiling they may be. So the aim of this booklet is to improve awareness of the current vulnerabilities and how to mitigate them, enabling all of us to make better and safer judgements, both when we are passage planning and when we are at sea. This is a summary of operational issues highlighting, where appropriate, the advantages and drawbacks of different systems and approaches, the "keys to safety" in many operational situations. Content: GNSS in marine navigation, Electronic charts and their display systems, Using Radar and AIS, Guarding against electronic failure on small craft, Key navigational skills, Future Developments (RIN & alt.).

            • Guidance on the proper display scale of Digital Nautical Chart

              • Displaying Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) data at a scale larger than the data compilation scale is known as Over-Scaling. This is an unsafe practice because it gives the mariner a false sense of the positional accuracy of navigation hazards and incorrect distance between features, which could lead to unsafe mission planning and navigation. This is a particular concern for the small-scale General and Coastal DNCs. NGA strongly recommends that ECDIS display DNC libraries at their data compilation scale.

            • Declination: Magnetic North Pole Shifting Rapidly and Unpredictably

              • The Earth’s north magnetic pole is shifting so rapidly that steps are being taken to ensure it doesn't impact navigation. For example, over the past few decades the North magnetic pole has been drifting toward Siberia at an irregular speed: this migration can adversely affect the accuracy of navigation. This leads to more frequent updates of the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet’s magnetic field and value of declination (GeoGarage blog).

            • Handbook of Magnetic Compass Adjustment (Pub. 226)

              • The Handbook of Magnetic Compass Adjustment (DMA Pub. 226) includes information about terrestrial magnetism, the theory behind magnetic compass adjustment, and detailed procedures for manual correction of magnetic compass error.

            • The World Magnetic Model is the standard model used by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.K. Ministry of Defence, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), for navigation, attitude and heading referencing systems using the geomagnetic field. It is also used widely in civilian navigation and heading systems. The model, associated software, and documentation are distributed by NCEI on behalf of NGA. The model is produced at 5-year intervals, with the current model expiring on December 31, 2024. Smartphone and consumer electronics companies rely on the WMM to provide consumers with accurate compass apps, maps, and GPS services. Available world maps: WMM2020 Declination Map - WMM2020 Total Intensity Map (More information about the WMM 2020, NGA-NOAA).

            • Magnetic declination is an important concept for accurate navigation. A compass will always point along the lines of magnetic force (which converge on what are called the magnetic poles). The angle between the direction of force and the direction of the geographic north pole is called the declination. As one moves across the surface of the globe, lines of constant magnetic declination are called isogonic lines. These charts below depicts, for 2020, isogonic contours of magnetic variation at 2° intervals (Main Field Declination). The WMM now includes “Blackout Zones” around the magnetic poles, as defined by the strength of the horizontal field. Between 2000 and 6000 nanotesla (nT) horizontal field strength is the “Caution Zone” where compasses may start to become prone to errors. The area around the pole between 2000 and 0nT is the “Unreliable Zone” where compasses may become inaccurate.

            • As the earth's magnetic field varies over time, the positions of the north and south magnetic poles gradually change. The magnetic declination at a given location also changes over time. These charts below depicts, for 2020, isogonic contours of annual change in magnetic variation at 2' intervals (Annual Change Declination). More information about The World Magnetic Model (NCEI).

            • Worldwide coverage, 5 areas. Pilot Charts depict averages in prevailing winds and currents, air and sea temperatures, wave heights, ice limits, visibility, barometric pressure, and weather conditions at different times of the year. The information used to compile these averages was obtained from oceanographic and meteorologic observations over many decades during the late 18th and 19th centuries.

            • End of Traditional Paper Charts

              • In November 2019, NOAA initiated a five-year process to end all raster nautical chart production, including the five traditional paper chart products. NOAA is intent on easing the transition to ENC-based products while continuing to support safe navigation. NOAA is aware that some chart users prefer paper charts. Although production of traditional paper charts will stop, a new form of paper nautical chart will be available through the NOAA Custom Chart capability (currently in prototype form). This system will enable users to create, customize, and print paper charts themselves, or have large format charts printed and delivered by a NOAA certified print-on-demand (POD) chart agent.

            • Change in channel depths on raster nautical chart products

              • NOAA recommends that mariners take advantage of the most recent chart updates by using the NOAA Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) for navigation in U.S. waters. ENCs provide the most up to date information, whereas paper and raster nautical chart updates may be up to one month behind the corresponding ENC coverage. Over the next few years, mariners will see continued improvement in the extent and detail of ENC coverage, while there will be a reduction in RNC and paper chart coverage and service. ENCs will include routine changes between editions that are not published through notices to mariners. One significant change to the RNC and paper charts will be the removal of controlling (minimum) depth information from many maintained channels. Controlling channel depths will still be provided on ENCs.

            • Earth’s northern magnetic pole is moving quickly

              • Compasses use predicted values of declination (the difference between true north and where your compass points) to help correct navigation systems for a wide variety of uses. As Earth's magnetic field evolves these predicted values can become off as the rate of change in Earth's magnetic field evolves due to unpredictable flows in Earth’s core. The north polar region is experiencing one of these erratic changes: Earth’s northern magnetic pole is moving quickly away from the Canadian Arctic toward Siberia. Due to these unplanned variations in the Arctic region, scientists have released a new World Magnetic Model (WMM) to more accurately represent the change of the magnetic field. This out-of-cycle update before next year’s official release of WMM2020 will ensure safe navigation for military applications, commercial airlines, search and rescue operations, and others operating around the North Pole.

            • Cold Water Hazards and Safety

              • Survival time is greatly diminished for someone immersed in water below 70 degrees. When cold water makes contact with your skin, cold shock causes an immediate loss of breathing control. This dramatically increases the risk of sudden drowning even if the water is calm and you know how to swim. The danger is even greater if the water is rough. Immersion in cold water is immediately life-threatening for anyone not wearing thermal protection, like a wetsuit or drysuit, and not wearing a life jacket. Roughly 20 percent of those who fall into cold water die in the first minute of immersion due to cold water shock. Even strong swimmers will lose muscle control in about 10 minutes. Body heat can be lost 25 times faster in cold water than in cold air. Wearing a life jacket significantly increases chances of survival.

            • Tropical Cyclone Concerns for Marine Interests

              • I’m often asked the question “What do I do with my boat when there is a hurricane approaching?" I have gathered and consolidated information from numerous sources to help the boat owner in the analysis of his/her particular situation. Then the boat owner can determine the best method to prepare their boat for the eventual tropical cyclone encounter. The suggestions mentioned in this paper are intended to guide the mariner in developing an individual preparedness plan to help preserve life and protect their property.

              • Hurricanes have been the cause of many maritime disasters and unfortunately, there is no single rule of thumb that can be used by mariners to ensure safe separation from a hurricane at sea. Instead, constant monitoring of hurricane potential & continual risk analysis when used with some fundamental guidelines become the basic tools to minimize a hurricane's impact to vessels at sea or in port.

            • Experimental Graphicasts - Today's Marine Weather Story

              • The Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) is providing a graphical weather depiction that will highlight primary weather features of interest.

              • Between May 15 and November 30 (hurricane season).

              • The tropical cyclone danger graphic is intended to depict the forecast track and corresponding area of avoidance for all active tropical cyclones and to depict areas for which tropical cyclone formation is possible within the next 36 hours over the Atlantic and East Pacific waters between May 15 and November 30 (hurricane season). The 3-day forecast track of each active tropical cyclone is depicted along with a shaded "danger" region, or area of avoidance. The danger area is determined by adding 100, 200, and 300 nautical miles to the tropical storm force radii (34 knots) at the 24-, 48-, and 72-hour forecast positions, respectively (hence the Mariner's 1-2-3 rule). For more information.

            • Mariner's Guide For Hurricane Awareness In The North Atlantic Basin

              • This guide will hopefully aid the Mariner in understanding the complex structure and behavior of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean. Once armed with this knowledge, and the information on where to acquire forecasts and guidance for current tropical cyclones, the mariner can be prepared to "weather the storm" or better yet, avoid these catastrophic events altogether.

            • Weather observations from buoys

              • National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) provides hourly observations from a network of buoys and Coastal Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations. All stations measure wind speed, direction, and gust; barometric pressure; and air temperature. In addition, all buoy stations, and some C-MAN stations, measure sea surface temperature and wave height and period. Large numbers of boaters use the observations, in combination with forecasts, to make decisions on whether it is safe to venture out. When away from a computer/the Internet Dial-A-Buoy gives mariners an easy way to obtain weather reports. Also mobile access to the buoys.

            • Typhoon Havens Handbook, Pacific

              • Severe tropical cyclones, also known as typhoons or hurricanes, are among the most destructive weather phenomena a ship may encounter whether the ship be in port or at sea. When faced with an approaching tropical cyclone, a timely decision regarding the necessity and method of evasion must be reached. Basically, the question is: Should the ship remain in port, evade at sea, or if at sea, should it seek the shelter offered by the harbor? This Handbook examines a number of western Pacific and Indian ocean ports and evaluates their potential as typhoon havens. This information should provide useful guidance to commanding officers in answering the above questions (HTML).

            • The Arctic Forecaster's Handbook

              • With continuing ice-melt and more open water present, increased commercial and military traffic will become evident, but not without cost. Surface Fleet and Aircraft Carrier Operations in the Arctic Ocean is a new challenge for the Arctic Forecaster. Snow, ice, freezing rain, wind, wind chill, floating ice and icebergs, to name a few, can take a toll quickly, rendering the fleet, equipment, communications and crew operations extremely difficult. The prudent Arctic forecaster will consider all products from climatology, satellite imagery through numerical products. The forecaster will need to more frequently update environmental information, build a good forecast and environmental recommendation to the fleet commanders in order to ensure the fleet is kept out of "harms-way" and remains an effective force. Use of this handbook will assist the Arctic Forecaster in that endeavor (HTML files, 2015).
