Year: 1988 Language: English Author: David Soughton and Fred Sanders Genre: Handbook Publisher: International Marine Edition: First ISBN: 0-87742-959-6 Format: PDF & EPUB Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 210 Description: Weather at Sea will make you a better and safer racing or cruising sailor. It will tell you how to: • predict the likelihood and movement of fog and thunderstorms ; • find the wind when becalmed; • understand the clues provided by waves and swells; • create a weather map from broadcast information and your local observations; • gauge the effects of tides on the wind; • estimate how the forecast wind will interact with a locally developing sea breeze. Coauthored by two experienced meteorologists and avid sailors, this is the clearest, most insightful weather handbook ever written for mariners in North America. The growth of knowledge in recent years makes today's weather information more dynamic, more accurate, and readily comprehensible. You'll find concise explanations of types of clouds and their significance, weather systems, low pressure areas, moving weather patterns, and the behavior of winds near the coast and over the open ocean. The formation, growth, and movement of weather hazards, including squalls, thunderstorms, and hurricanes, are also covered. You may still occasionally be surprised by the weather, but you will never again be mystified.
