Description
A Comprehensive Guide for navigators of all vessels, large or small, to help them better understand the weather, and safely navigate through the weather conditions experienced in New Zealand and throughout the rest of the World.
The formation of Weather systems is explained in detail, including the permanent and seasonal high-and-low pressure systems, their Fronts and Air masses, where and when they form and the type of weather conditions to expect in each system.
The formation of local and Planetary winds is explained, and waves and Ocean Currents are also described, each with their own vagaries which could affect safe navigation.
Conditions that are especially hazardous to those at sea are covered in detail, including Tsunamis, waterspouts, Line Squalls, freak waves, Thunderstorms, tropical revolving storms, precipitation, the various conditions of restricted visibility, and all forms of sea ice that are likely to be encountered at sea.
Important advise is given for navigating in or near these hazards, together with clues for early recognition and detection.
