If your ship is not participating in this worthwhile international program, we urge you to join. Remember, the meteorological agencies that do the weather forecasting cannot help you without input from you. ONLY YOU KNOW THE WEATHER AT YOUR POSITION!! Please report the weather at 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC as explained in the National Weather Service Observing Handbook No. 1 for Marine Surface Weather Observations. Within 300 nm of a named hurricane, typhoon or tropical storm, or within 200 nm of U.S. or Canadian waters, also report the weather at 0300, 0900, 1500, and 2100 UTC. Your participation is greatly appreciated by all mariners. For assistance, contact a Port Meteorological Officer (PMO), who will come aboard your vessel and provide all the information you need to observe, code and transmit weather observations.

  • Aviation Weather Services (AC 00-45H)
    U.S. Department Advisory of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Circular Subject: Aviation Weather Services Date: 1/8/18 AC No: 00-45H Initiated by: AFS-400 Change: 1 1 PURPOSE OF THIS ADVISORY CIRCULAR (AC). This AC explains U.S. aviation weather products and services. It provides details when necessary for interpretation and to aid usage. This publication supplements its companion manual, AC 00-6, Aviation Weather, which documents weather theory and its application to aviation. The objective of this AC is to bring the pilot and operator up-to-date on new and evolving weather information and capabilities to help plan a safe and efficient flight, while also describing the traditional weather products that remain. 2 PRINCIPAL CHANGES. This change adds guidance and information on Graphical Forecast for Aviation (GFA), Localized Aviation Model Output Statistics (MOS) Program (LAMP), Terminal Convective Forecast (TCF), Polar Orbiting Environment Satellites (POES), Low-Level Wind Shear Alerting System (LLWAS), and Flight Path Tool graphics. It also updates guidance and information on Direct User Access Terminal Service (DUATS II), Telephone Information Briefing Service (TIBS), and Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR). This change removes information regarding Area Forecasts (FA) for the Continental United States (CONUS). 1/8/18 AC 00-45H CHG 1 PAGE CONTROL CHART Remove Pages Dated Insert Pages Dated Pages iii thru xii 11/14/16 Pages iii thru xiii 1/8/18 Pages 1-8 and 1-9 11/14/16 Page 1-8 1/8/18 Page 3-57 11/14/16 Pages 3-57 thru

  • HURRICANE TEDDY (AL202020) 12–23 September 2020
    r d NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TROPICAL CYCLONE REPORT HURRICANE TEDDY (AL202020) 12–23 September 2020 Eric S. Blake National Hurricane Center 28 April 2021 NASA TERRA MODIS VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGE OF HURRICANE TEDDY AT 1520 UTC 22 SEPTEMBER 2020. Teddy was a classic, long-lived Cape Verde category 4 hurricane on the Saffir- Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It passed northeast of the Leeward Islands and became extremely large over the central Atlantic, eventually making landfall in Nova Scotia as a 55-kt extratropical cyclone. There were 3 direct deaths in the United States due to rip currents. Hurricane Teddy 2 Hurricane Teddy 12–23 SEPTEMBER 2020 SYNOPTIC HISTORY Teddy originated from a strong tropical wave that moved off the west coast of Africa on 10 September, accompanied by a large area of deep convection. The wave was experiencing moderate northeasterly shear, but a broad area of low pressure and banding features still formed on 11 September a few hundred n mi southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Convection decreased late that day, as typically happens in the evening diurnal minimum period, but increased early on 12 September. This convection led to the development of a well-defined surface center, confirmed by scatterometer data, and the formation of a tropical depression near 0600 UTC 12 September about 500 n mi southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. The “best track” chart of the tropical cyclone’s path is given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are listed in Table 1.1 After the depression formed, further development was slow during the next couple of days due to a combination of northeasterly shear, dry air in the mid-levels and the large size and radius of maximum winds of the system.

Wallace Page 2 Overall Objectives of the Aviation Hazards development plan – all three parts. Page 3 The six(plus) categories that will be covered in the entire module. Page 4 The specific objectives of Part 1. Page 5 William Henry Dines…famous meteorologist of the late 19th through early 20th century. Developed the Pressure Tube (Dines) Anemometer. Did much of his best and most renown work on upper air meteorology – involving kites, (later) balloons and meteorographs (starting in 1901). His meteorographs where famous for being small, lightweight (2oz.) and economical. Member of the Royal Meteorological Society from 1881 until his death in 1928 (president from 1901 through 1902). The “difficulties” he refers to are with regard to both pilot and (forecast) meteorologist – and were: Wind, fog, and clouds. These and other “difficulties” will be addressed throughout the rest of this session. Page 6 (Plus 3) Aviation Weather Center (AWC) – A NOAA/NWS National Support Center that disseminates consistent, timely and accurate weather information for the world airspace system. Disseminates In-flight advisories (AIRMETs, SIGMETs) and provides a portal to much aviation data, such as Aviation Digital Data Service(ADDS). An AIRMET (AIRman's METeorological Information) advises of weather potentially hazardous to all aircraft but that does not meet SIGMET criteria. SIGMETS (Significant Meteorological Information) are issued and amended to warn pilots of weather conditions that are potentially hazardous to all size aircraft and all pilots, such as severe icing or severe turbulence.

Kratzsch and Dr. M. Rohn German National Weather Service, Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), Offenbach, Germany ([email protected], 069-8062 2254 Many customers of Deutscher Wetterdienst get forecast products (different deterministic meteorological pa- rameters) as so-called Point-Time-Prognoses (PTPs). There’s the need for data of high resolution in space (several kilometers, cities) and time (hourly up to forecast-day 7, updated each hour). Those interpretations of the numerical models have been designed by different methods, called DMO, Model Output Statistics (MOS), Kalman filtering. Because of different model results and different methods there are between five and ten different PTPs for the same location. While a forecaster, based on his experience, can choose between that different interpretations, an automatic customers supply can’t do so. Because updates of those interpretations are only available for each new model run, there’s also the need for more actual forecast data, using nowcasting methods as well as controlling and modifying mechanisms for the forecasters. A process “Objective Optimization” has been implemented which automatically combines the available PTP data, nowcasting products and observations at all required locations. A frequent update of this optimization process every 30 minutes ensures that the OOG is based on the latest available model, nowcasting, and observational information. The resulting so-called “Objectively Optimized Guidance” (OOG) passes an interactive quality control step to produce a “Man Modified output” (MMO).
