Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Meteorological Service of Canada Genre: Manual Edition: 8th ISBN: 978-0-660-05538-1 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 241 Description: All mariners should be aware of the great necessity of weather observations at sea in preparing the weather forecasts and other bulletins that are used by the mariner themselves. Weather reports from any area, at any time, form the raw material from which weather bulletins are made. A lack of reports from any area would mean greatly curtailed weather service to mariners and indeed to many other interests as well. While it is true that weather satellites are now furnishing data on a global basis, a large volume of data on cloud patterns and structure, and that their remote sensing capabilities are increasing all the time, they still do not give us a complete weather picture. They do not, for example, provide information on visibility, weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.), pressure, air temperature, dew point, etc.. Government Services therefore depend almost exclusively on merchant and other ships to provide detailed weather information over water areas of the world.
