marine weather systems

Marine weather systems involve atmospheric conditions over oceans that influence wind, waves, and storm development. They include phenomena like cyclones, hurricanes, subtropical cells, and frontal systems, which are driven by temperature differences, pressure changes, and Earth's rotation. These systems affect maritime navigation, safety, and climate. Mariners monitor these patterns using satellite data, buoys, and weather models to predict and prepare for changing conditions—such as high winds, heavy rain, and large waves—that can significantly impact ships and ocean activities. Understanding marine weather systems is essential for safe and efficient operations at sea.
