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).
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).
Terminology on Cyclonic disturbances over the North Indian Ocean
Terminology on cyclonic disturbances: From "Afternoon" to "Zone of disturbed weather" (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).

For safe navigation at sea, it is important to know your position as well as the positions of obstacles. Positions are expressed in coordinates. Positions at sea are expressed in latitude and longitude, and height or depth with respect to a specified water level. Coordinates are only meaningful if you know the coordinate system they refer to. These are the so-called coordinate reference systems. Mariners have to know which coordinate reference system to use for positioning.

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).
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 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).

More About Tides and Water Level
The water level at a certain place is the sum of the astronomical tide and the weather’s effect on the water level. Globally, semi-diurnal tides are most common, meaning two high and low tides each day.
Vannstanden varierer på grunn av tidevannet og påvirkning fra været. De fleste steder i verden har vi to høyvann og to lavvann hver dag (flo og fjære).
For å kunne bestemme høyder og dybder må man ha noe å referere til – et nullnivå. Vi har ulike referansenivåer for sjø og land.

Position dilution of precision for a GNSS user (PDOP)
Position dilution of precision (PDOP) maps for GLONASS, BeiDou, GLONASS+BeiDou, GPS and Galileo. The PDOP value indicates the quality of a GNSS position. 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.

Dispositivos de separación de tráfico (DST)
El establecimiento de los dispositivos de separación de tráfico ha reducido considerablemente el riesgo y el número de accidentes por colisiones y varadas en el tráfico marítimo. En España existen varios dispositivos de separación de tráfico: Finisterre, Estrecho de Gibraltar, Cabo de Gata, Canarias Oriental y Canarias Occidental. El DST con mayor Tráfico es Tarifa, seguido por Finisterre y Cabo de Gata.
La Guía Sanitaria a Bordo forma parte obligada del botiquín del barco, editada y distribuida gratuitamente por el ISM , está configurada como un vademécum de los conocimientos básicos que deben tener los responsables sanitarios de los buques y como un catálogo práctico de procedimientos a seguir pero siempre a indicación de los facultativos del Centro Radio-Médico de la Entidad. La idea fundamental que ha dirigido la redacción de esta Guía es la de que sirva de instrumento en las consultas médicas realizadas a distancia. Además, debe permitir poder utilizar el botiquín en caso de necesidad urgente o cuando, por imposibilidad técnica, no se pueda comunicar con el Centro Radio-Médico. Pero, también, la Guía debe servir de recuerdo, en muchos casos primera información, de las medidas preventivas a adoptar en los barcos para mantener la salud y, si llega el caso, saber qué hacer ante un fallecimiento a bordo.
Equipos de radiocomunicaciones
El "Reglamento por el que se regulan las radiocomunicaciones a bordo de buques civiles españoles" identifica los equipos que deben llevar las embarcaciones de recreo, según las zonas de navegación en las que están autorizados a navegar. Los equipos consisten en estaciones de radio fijas (en VHF y OM, con Llamada Selectiva Digital - LSD), Inmarsat, estaciones portátiles de VHF, terminales NAVTEX, radiobalizas (RLS - EPIRB), respondedores de radar (RESAR - SART), y sistema de posicionamiento por satélite (GPS).

Predicción Marítima: mapas con altura de oleaje
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.

Facts about Charts and Carriage requirements
The SOLAS International Convention includes a requirement for all ships to carry to up-to-date nautical charts and publications for the intended voyage. Progressively, the chart carriage requirement for certain classes of vessels is to be satisfied by electronic means using an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). This publication provide guidance on the regulations and the status of equipment that is available in the market today. In particular the differences between the various types of equipment and the differences between the various types of chart data offered to the users are unclear with respect to the regulations in place (IHO publication S-66, edition 2010). Contents: Overview of electronic charting and regulations, Compendium of Flag State ECDIS requirements, Training requirements, Technical details of electronic charts, Appendix: References and glossary, Revised performance standards for electronic chart display (ECDIS).

The PYG, which is specifically designed for yachts, is in three parts: (a) Safety of navigation and voyage planning for all polar waters, (b) Arctic waters and (c) Antarctic waters. 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.).

The Sight Reduction Tables for Air Navigation (HO249) are published in three separate Volumes. Volume I of Pub 249 used by both the marine and air navigator, contains altitude (to the nearest minutes) and true azimuth values of seven selected stars for the complete ranges of latitude and hour angle of Aries. These seven stars represent the best selection for observation at any given position and time, and provide the data for presetting instruments before observation and for sight reduction afterwards. Volumes II and III cover latitudes 0°-40° and 39°-89° respectively and are primarily used by the air navigator in conjunction with observations of celestial bodies to calculate the geographic position of the observer.
Sight Reduction Tables for Marine Navigation (HO-229)
The Sight Reduction Tables for Marine Navigation (HO229) is published in six Volumes, each of which contains two eight-degree zones of latitude with a one-degree overlap between Volumes. They are designed to facilitate the practice of celestial navigation at sea. The tables are primarily used with the Intercept method of sight reduction by entering arguments of latitude, declination, and Local Hour Angle and obtaining tabulated altitudes and azimuth angles. The tables are prepared and published by NGA on an as needed basis.

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.

This group also passed a resolution calling for the development of a Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) to provide the communication support needed to implement the global search and rescue plan.
Discontinuance of the USCG DGPS Service
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) will discontinue service from its remaining 38 Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) over the next three years. This staged reduction of the remaining DGPS broadcast service sites will begin in 2018 and end with the curtailment of the Coast Guard broadcast of GPS corrections over medium frequency (MF) in 2020.
GPS User Equipment Introduction
The Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radio-positioning and timetransfer system. GPS provides accurate position, velocity, and time (PVT) information to an unlimited number of suitably equipped ground, sea, air and space users. Passive PVT fixes are available world-wide in all-weathers in a world-wide common grid system (hostile imitation). GPS comprises three major system segments, Space, Control, and User (1996).
GPS Standard Positioning Service (SPS) Performance Standard
This document defines the levels of performance the U.S. government makes available to users of the GPS Standard Positioning Service, also known as the civilian GPS service. With current (2007) Signal-in-Space (SIS) accuracy, well designed GPS receivers have been achieving horizontal accuracy of 3 meters or better and vertical accuracy of 5 meters or better 95% of the time.
GPS Space Segment/Navigation User Interfaces: Interface Specification (IS-GPS-200)
Interface Specification IS-GPS-200 defines the requirements related to the interface between the GPS space and user segments for radio frequency link 1 (L1) and link 2 (L2).
The Operational Advisory (also known as a GPS Status Message) provides a summary of the status of the satellite constellation. A GPS Notice Advisory to Navstar Users (NANU) is an advisory message to inform users of a change in the GPS constellation. These messages are released 72 hours in advance for planned maintenance. These messages are also used to notify users of unscheduled outages. General NANUs can be used to disseminate general GPS information.

Report a GPS service outage or anomaly
If you are experiencing GPS issues relating to land-based or maritime positioning, navigation, or timing signals, please submit a GPS disruption report using the form. NAVCEN cannot assist you with equipment issues. If your GPS unit or others' GPS units are leading people to an incorrect address OR are otherwise leading people to an incorrect location, the problem is not likely a "GPS" problem, but rather, it is very likely a MAPPING problem. Unfortunately, the Navigation Center cannot assist you with GPS unit mapping problems, as we do not develop, control, nor repair the mapping software contained in GPS units, including vehicle navigation systems.
Civil GPS Users are encouraged to submit reports of GPS problems to NAVCEN. A form to submit reports can be found on our GPS Problem Reporting webpage. Some information from those reports is shared here along with input from interagency partners and the most likely cause of the report. Descriptions for each of the fields is at the bottom of the page.

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.

This booklet is intended for use by volunteers to report aerial, shipboard, or shoreline observations of ice conditions at sea to authorities such as the National Weather Service, National Ice Center, U.S. Coast Guard, pilots’ associations, port authorities, or other maritime interests. Emphasis here is on conditions of concern to mariners with regard to safe passage of ships.
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.
Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability Product
The Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability Product by NOAA/NESDIS/OSPO provides an estimate of the probability of tropical cyclone formation within the next 24 to 48 hours in 1 by 1 degree latitude/longitude areas from 45S to 45N and 0 to 360E. For guidance purposes only.

Hurricane Preparedness: Marine Safety
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. A graphicast is produced for each basin. The graphicasts are intended to communicate to our users the most critical marine or other significant forecast issue(s) of the day (heavy precipitation/flooding, volcanic ash) in an effort to provide enhanced decision support services (DSS) to them. The image has planned updates once per day in the early afternoon.

48hr High Wind and Associated Seas
Between December 1 and May 14 (outside of hurricane season).
The high wind and associated seas graphic is produced by the National Hurricane Center to depict areas of high winds and related seas over the Atlantic and East Pacific waters between December 1 and May 14 (outside of hurricane season). South of 30°N, areas are depicted for winds higher than 25 knots with the corresponding seas noted. North of 30°N, areas are depicted for winds of gale force (34 knots) or higher with the corresponding seas noted. Ranges in which the 25/34 knot thresholds are the upper limit (i.e. 25-35 knots) are included on the graphic. For more information.

Tropical Cyclone Danger Graphic (Mariner's 1-2-3 Rule)
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.

The Mariners Weather Log (MWL) contains articles, news and information about marine weather events and phenomena, worldwide environmental impact concerns, climatology studies, storms at sea, and weather forecasting. The MWL is dedicated to the NWS Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) Program, Port Meteorological Officers (PMOs), cooperating ships officers, and their vessels. Including: Marine Weather Review. Some articles:
Forecasts: Marine Weather Forecasting in the National Weather Service - Weather Fax Charts versus Electronically Derived GRIBs - Mariner’s Guide to the 500-Millibar Chart
Waves: When Do Ocean Waves Become 'Significant'? A Closer Look at Wave Forecasts - Expecting the Unexpected Wave: How the National Weather Service Marine Forecasts Compare to Observed Seas - Waves and the Mariner - Dynamic Fetch: Some Insight Into Rapid Increase in Sea Wave Heigh
Hurricanes: Hurricane Avoidance Using the "34-Knot Wind Radius" and "1-2-3" Rules - The Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale: An Interview with Dr. Robert Simpson - Severe Weather Port Evaluation Effort at the Naval Research Laboratory
The importance of ship reports cannot be overstated: for every 100 observations on land, there is only about 1 observation at sea. Without your participation in the Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) program, there would be vast marine areas without data, making weather forecasting nearly impossible for these areas. Reporting weather not only contributes to your safety, but adds to your basic knowledge of seamanship.
Tide Predictions for USA, Pacific and Caribbean Islands. NOAA Tide Predictions allows users of the Tides and Currents website to generate tide predictions for up to 2 years in the past or future, at any of 3000+ locations around the United States. This website service provides both a graphical plot of the predictions as well as a tabular listing and printable pages. Also it is possible to choose a station using the Tides station map.
At this time, NOAA Current Predictions is being presented as an alternative method to retrieve current predictions from the traditional Tidal Current Predictions. Initially, both prediction products will be available through the Tides and Currents website. After a period of time, the existing tidal current predictions will be removed from the Tides and Currents website and NOAA Current Predictions will become a fully operational product. Also it is possible to choose a station using the Currents station map.

The combined sea height (Hc) is defined as the square root of the sea-wave height squared plus the swell-wave height squared. The combined sea height represents an approximation of the height of the highest crests of water formed when the crests of sea waves interact with the crests of swell waves. On the map red arrows shown predominant wave direction, blue squares are observations with waves height and wind barbs are observations with wind speed & direction (also sea waves direction). Height in feet.

Hurricane Havens Handbook, North Atlantic
This Handbook provides guidance for assessing a hurricane threat's circumstances and likely impact on the given port to support decision-makers' reasonable choice between either remaining in port or evading at sea. This choice is based on informed compromise between a harbor's protective qualities, and the possibility that a sortie will prove to have been unnecessary (HTML).
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).
These handbooks are intended as guidance for ship captains whose vessels are threatened by actual or forecast strong winds, high seas, restricted visibility or thunderstorms in the listed port areas. These regions are renowned for numerous areas where "Local Effects" on winds, seas, and visibility can cause dangerous operating conditions. Prior knowledge of these local characteristics and the resultant effects encountered can be extremely useful in the decision making process. Causes and effects of such hazardous conditions are discussed and precautionary or evasive actions are suggested for various vessel situations (HTML).

NRL collects these forecasts for ATCF project development, and is not responsible for their use in the forecasting of tropical cyclones. Concerned customers should confirm these forecasts with official sources.
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).
The following materials are provided as an introduction to Arctic region climate, weather, and other environmental conditions. A basic objective is to provide materials that will assist users in developing a workable understanding and appreciation of the unique polar conditions including extreme cold, month long daylight and dark periods, and ice covered waters. Terminology and products specific to regional environmental factors will be addressed and used throughout the materials. Tables, graphs and glossaries addressing Arctic environmental conditions are provided as introductory and reference materials (HTML files, 2014).
