Seminar Description

The tropical cyclone seminar is a modern and comprehensive approach to the most dangerous meteorological phenomenon that a sailor can encounter. This seminar provides all the basic knowledge that the bridge officer must know, such as the structure of tropical cyclones, the name, the dangerous and navigable semicircle, the Rule 1-2-3. Special reference is also made to the way tropical cyclones are symbolized on surface maps, issued by the world's largest meteorological services (NOAA, JMA) and the way meteorological messages (advisories) are read is explained. At the same time, the method of Ma-Li Chen and Lee Chesneau for predicting the trajectory of tropical cyclones using the 500 mb map is taught for the first time in Greece. And all this through practical applications, exercises and numerous examples.

Target Audience

The Nautical Meteorology seminar on Tropical Cyclones is aimed at bridge officers of ocean-going ships of any rank, students of the Hellenic Maritime Academy (AEN/KESEN), as well as office executives of shipping companies.
