Marine Weather Forecasting

Marine weather forecasting involves predicting weather conditions at sea using observations, satellite data, weather models, and buoys. It helps determine wind speed and direction, wave heights, storms, and visibility, which are crucial for safe maritime navigation and operations. Meteorologists analyze this data to produce forecasts, often covering hours to days ahead. Accurate marine forecasts enable mariners to plan routes, avoid dangerous conditions, and ensure safety for crew and cargo. This specialized forecasting combines atmospheric science with oceanography to provide vital information tailored to the unique and dynamic environment of the world's oceans.
