Seminar Title

New Methods of Getting Weather Information on Board

Duration

The duration of the seminar is 5 hours

Seminar Overview

In our innovative new seminar, the professional sailor learns the ways in which he can always have official meteorological information on board, in any part of the world, regardless of whether he can receive the facsimile or not, regardless of whether there are official or unofficial forecasts and regardless of whether the ship has broadband or not. Through a multitude of real examples and practical applications, this seminar opens up new horizons for professional sailors in receiving meteorological information, as it focuses on all the modern methods of receiving meteorological information that have been developed for sailors. Thus, the sailor learns how he can, using the e-mail of the ship, to receive official charts from the world's major meteorological services, warnings, advisories for tropical cyclones, metarea forecasts, observations from passing ships, satellite wind measurements from the A-SCAT satellite, Grib Files (Digital Weather Maps) . He also learns how to handle the most popular Grib Viewers, OPENCPN and how to ALWAYS have time on board.

  Useful questions for the seminar

The seminar provides answers to key questions such as the following:

  • I am traveling to the Indian Ocean and I don't have any official source of weather information. Is there any way I can get weather reports?
  • Receiving the official forecast data via facsimile is impossible due to very poor reception. Can I have the maps in another way?
  • The internet is blocked on the ship. I only have email. Can I get the weather via email?
  • On the ship I used to work on, we had a commercial weather routing application where I could view digital weather maps. Is there any way I can get FREE access to the digital weather maps?
  • How can I find out the weather conditions facing passing ships?
  • How can I access satellite wind data in my area?
  • Do all of the above services have a cost?
