Pronóstico Numérico de Olas sobre los Oceanos Australes para Mañana - Alturas en metros - Pronóstico Numérico de Olas (SMN)
La altura significativa se infiere en el modelo a partir de la energía total de las olas. Se asemeja a la altura característica que un observador experimentado estima visualmente en un campo de olas y es la medida representativa del campo más utilizada. Sin embargo, se debe destacar que las olas individuales pueden exceder la altura significativa (idealmente algo más del 13 % de las olas) y aun en condiciones normales, alguna ola individual podría duplicar esta altura. La dirección del pico es la dirección media en las frecuencias que contienen la máxima energía y es cercana, en general, a la dirección del máximo. El período del pico de energía o período dominante es el correspondiente a las frecuencias que contienen la máxima energía. Todas las alturas se expresan en metros.

The Australian Chart and Publication Maintenance Handbook providesinformation to assist mariners to keep paper and electronic nautical charts and publications up to date, as well as to keep appropriate maintenance records. By using this book, mariners should be able to meet their obligations under both national and international maritime legislation and the more specific inspection requirements imposed by safety and regulatory authorities.
- Accuracy and reliability of Paper Nautical Charts
How accurate are nautical charts? How much faith can be placed in them? Unfortunately, the answer is quite complex – far more complex than simply saying one chart is accurate whilst another is not. However, having the necessary skills should be essential for any mariner venturing into unfamiliar waters. All charts, whether paper or electronic, contain data which varies in quality due to the age and accuracy of individual surveys. In general, remote areas away from shipping routes tend to be less well surveyed, and less frequently, while areas of high commercial traffic are re-surveyed frequently to very high levels of accuracy, particularly where under-keel clearances are small. It is quite accurate to consider a chart as a jigsaw of individual surveys pieced together to form a single image.
- Facts about Electronic Charts and Carriage Requirements
Written in an easy to read “question and answer” style, this publication answers over twenty of the most commonly asked questions about electronic charts (ENCs and RNCs) and their use in ECDIS and ECS. Its main emphasis is on what types of chart data and types of equipment can be used to satisfy the International Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) carriage requirements for charts (IHO, S-66, 2018).
- Understanding Paper Nautical Chart Symbology
At first glance, a chart looks simple to interpret. However, what exactly do all those different symbols mean? Before your next day on the water, have a look at the symbols taken from a few Australian Paper Nautical Charts.

Australia: Current Tropical Cyclones (BOM) - Hydrographic Glossary
There are many words, phrases, acronyms and abbreviations used in hydrographic applications. On this glossary you can find a concise list of these as well as links to other related glossaries of Hydrographic terms.
- Tidal Glossary
Terms that are often used in Tidal Science.
- Astronomical Definitions
Definitions for common astronomical terms (Geoscience Australia).
- Compute Sunrise, Transit, Sunset and Twilight Times
The transit time of a celestial body refers to the instant that its center crosses an imaginary line in the sky - the observer's meridian. It's represents the time at which the body is highest in the sky on any given day: the transit of the Sun is local solar (sundial) noon. At the twilight time in the absence of moonlight, artificial lighting or adverse atmospheric conditions, the illumination is such that large objects may be seen but no detail is discernible. The brightest stars and planets can be seen and for navigation purposes at sea, the sea horizon is clearly defined (Geoscience Australia).
- Maritime Gazetteer of Australia
The Maritime Gazetteer of Australia (MGA) is a searchable database containing all the place names used in Australia's official navigational charts.
- Australian Notices to Mariners (NTMs)
Australian Notices to Mariners are produced fortnightly to inform mariners of amendments of navigational significance to their chart portfolios. Notices to Mariners, tracings, blocks and other supplements are available in PDF format (More informations).

- Changes to EPIRB laws for domestic commercial vessels
An EPIRB is a critical piece of safety equipment for crew and passengers on sinking or capsized vessels, in a fire, collision or vessel grounding. From 1 January 2021, new laws covering the carriage of emergency position indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs) will apply to certain types of domestic commercial vessels (DCV). The type of EPIRB you need depends on vessel class, length, flotation and operating area.
- Depiction of charted information—electronic navigation chart vs paper chart
This Pilot Advisory Note (2/2020) informs about circumstances where the information depicted on an ENC may differ to the information on a paper chart for the same location. Note that in all cases where a difference may be noted: 1) The ENC depiction will more closely resemble real-world features due to scale limitations inherent in paper charts; 2) ENC are used as the source for updating paper charts – updates to paper charts will therefore either be released in parallel with the ENC, or lag behind, but will never precede an ENC update.

This marine notice (8/2021) draws attention to important information regarding the proper operation of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), including the importance of adequate and up to date Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs), for ships visiting Australian ports.
- Vessel traffic services (VTS) areas in Australia
Vessel traffic services (VTS) assist domestic and international vessels to avoid dangerous situations in our region. There are currently 15 authorised vessel traffic services in Australia including REEFVTS (Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait Vessel Traffic Services). Here is a list of VTS areas in Autralia with specific information.
- Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait Vessel Traffic Service (Reef VTS) – User Guide
The environmental and cultural significance of the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait regions are internationally recognised. In 1990 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) named these regions Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA). The Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait Vessel Traffic Service (Reef VTS) was established in 2004 as a mechanism to improve the safety and efficiency of vessel movements and to help protect the marine environment. The purpose of the Reef VTS user guide is to assist masters of ships transiting the Reef VTS area on the services provided by Reef VTS (2021).

The GMDSS Radio Log Book (the radio log) should be kept in a location close to the radio station. Pages from this form should be printed as required and kept as a hard-copy. The radio log, and associated records, must be kept onboard for at least 2 years. The radio log must contain a summary of communications relating to distress, urgency and safety messages. Details of commercial communications exchanged via GMDSS communications equipment may also be recorded in the radio log. The radio log should contain a record of important incidents connected with the radio service.

- List of Registered Ships
Search for a registered ship on the Australian General and International Shipping Registers. You can search for a vessel using basic details about the ship. You can search either by the ship’s name, or the ship's official number for a more accurate search. The official number is the six digit number issued by the Shipping Registration Office to Australian registered ships. Other details such as the type of ship, overall length, or principal material of construction may be useful for searching purposes to check for matches in the register. See also: Search for Australian MMSI number.

- Sea (or wind) waves are generated by the local prevailing wind and vary in size according to the length of time a particular wind has been blowing, the fetch (distance the wind has blown over the sea) and the water depth.
- Swell waves are the regular longer period waves generated by distant weather systems. There may be several sets of swell waves travelling in different directions, causing a confused sea state.
- Combined sea and swell describes the combined height of the sea and the swell that mariners experience on open waters. The height of the Combined sea and swell refers to the average wave height of the highest one third of the waves. Combined sea and swell is also known as total wave height, or significant wave height. Some waves will be higher and some lower than the significant wave height. The probable maximum wave height can be up to twice the significant wave height.

- The International Antarctic Weather Forecasting Handbook
This volume presents a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of weather forecasting in the Antarctic. It is designed to be of practical use to forecasters on the Antarctic stations and on research/supply vessels, but will also be of value to those concerned with research into Antarctic meteorology and climatology. It splits broadly into two parts. In the first, the climatology of the Antarctic is reviewed and there are discussions on the nature of the weather systems found over the continent and Southern Ocean. The means used to forecast all the main meteorological elements are discussed as well as the use of satellite data and the output of numerical weather prediction models. In the second part, the meteorological conditions found at various locations around the Antarctic are considered and guidance provided on the forecasting rules and techniques used at specific locations (British Antarctic Survey).
Space Weather Services (SWS)
- Space Weather Hazard
Space Weather broadly describes the impact of solar activity on technological systems and human well-being here on earth. Dynamic variations on the surface of the sun can release large amounts of energy in various forms including electromagnetic radiation, charged particles and eruptions of huge clouds of ionised gas. These phenomena can significantly affect the earth’s upper atmosphere (ionosphere) and surrounding space environment with impacts felt all the way down to technological systems on the ground. Space weather events that modify the density and/or structure of the ionosphere can significantly impact the performance of HF communications, satellite communication and global navigation satellite systems (e.g. GPS).
- Fact sheet on the potential impacts of space weather
This information sheet is designed to assist owners and operators of critical infrastructure better understand the effects of space weather events. These may include disruptions to telecommunication and radio communications systems, satellite navigation systems, energy supply and power grids. Space weather could also lead to damage or loss of critical infrastructure.
TEC Disturbance Index
This index is defined as the mean deviation of the current conditions for the Total Electron Count (TEC) in the ionosphere from a 15-day running median reference data. An index of 1.5 mean there is a deviation of 150% between the current and the average TEC values. It is representative of the deviation of current ionospheric conditions from those expected by an usual GPS receiver. This deviation can cause a position error if it remain uncorrected. For the real GPS position errors refer to the L1 map below (More information about TEC mapping).S4 Index
Ionospheric scintillation occurs when a radio frequency signal traverses a region of small scale irregularities in electron density in the ionosphere. This is a rapid fluctuation of radio-frequency signal amplitude. The S4 Index quantified this amplitude scintillation with a measure of the short timescale fluctuation in the signal to noise of a transmission. Values over 0.6 indicate strong scintillation which can cause loss of lock on a GPS signal. A scintillation index below 0.3 is unlikely to have any affect on GPS (More information about ionospheric scintillation).- GPS: L1 Ionosheric Positioning Error
The ionosphere is a significant source of error in satellite navigation systems, such as GPS. In ordinary operation the position of a GPS receiver is estimated by measuring the time delay between a radio signal transmitted from each satellite and the reception of that signal at the receiver. Assuming a constant speed of light, this time delay can be converted to a receiver-satellite distance. By comparing the distance to multiple satellites a GPS receiver can determine its three dimensional position. The ionosphere disrupts this approach since the GPS radio signal is slowed by the presence of free electrons, causing an additional time delay and hence an error in the distance to each satellite. The greater the total number of electrons (Total Electron Count, or TEC) on the signal path, the greater the time delay.
This near-real-time map shows the estimated GPS positioning error, in metres of L1, resulting from the difference between the GPS broadcast Klobuchar model of ionospheric delay and the best current estimate of 'true' ionosheric delay, as observed by SWS. It is therefore representative of the ionospheric contribution to GPS position error for single-frequency GPS, which at mid-latitudes typically ranges between 1 and 5m. Both enhancements and depressions of the ionosphere can result in reduced GPS positioning accuracy. The map shows colour contours of position error at GPS L1 (ie single frequency), in units of metres.
GPS: Position error around Australia due to the ionosphere. Error in metres Global space weather advisories for GNSS - MOD: Moderate, SEV: Severe - Space Weather Advisories
Space weather can be described as the solar activity on the surface of the sun creating certain atmospheric events that can affect us here on earth. These environmental conditions are important for us to monitor as they can affect the performance and reliability of our satellites, navigation systems and radio communications. The space weather advisory service targets three broad space weather impact areas for ships: HF Communications (HF COM), GNSS-based navigation and surveillance (GNSS like GPS) and satellite communication (SATCOM). However advisories for SATCOM will not be issued by any space weather centres until further work is undertaken to develop and validate operationally relevant advisory thresholds for this impact area. Further information can be found in the companion Space Weather Hazard brochure. Advisories are issued at either of two intensity thresholds: Moderate (MOD) and Severe (SEV). More information.

- Identification et suivi des navires (LRIT)
Le LRIT est une initiative de l'Organisation maritime internationale (OMI) visant à améliorer la sécurité maritime. LRIT signifie Long Range Identification and Tracking (identification et suivi à distance). En d’autres termes, il s’agit d’un système d’identification et de suivi des navires de mer dans le monde entier. Le système LRIT peut être utilisé pour localiser les navires qui se trouvent à proximité d’un navire en détresse. Cela améliore considérablement la coordination des opérations de recherche et de sauvetage. La législation LRIT s’applique : aux navires cargos de plus de 300 tonnes - aux navires à passagers - aux plateformes mobiles de forage en mer.
- Zeeschepen identificeren en traceren (LRIT)
LRIT is een initiatief van de Internationale Maritieme Organisatie (IMO) om de maritieme beveiliging te verbeteren. LRIT staat voor Long Range Identification and Tracking. Het is met andere woorden een systeem om zeeschepen wereldwijd te identificeren en te traceren. Met het LRIT-systeem kunnen schepen gelokaliseerd worden die zich in de buurt van een schip in nood bevinden. Dat verbetert de coördinatie van opsporings- en reddingsoperaties aanzienlijk. De LRIT-wetgeving geldt voor: vrachtschepen met een tonnage boven de 300 ton - passagiersschepen - mobiele boorplatformen op zee.

Map with advisories, watches and warnings. The Marine Warning and Watches Program provides advisories to mariners or marine interests to inform them of marine weather conditions that may pose a hazard to their safety, security, or operation. Advisories are issued for specific weather events that are quite severe and could significantly impact Canadians. Watches alert you about weather conditions that are favourable for a storm or severe weather, which could cause safety concerns. As certainty increases about the path and strength of a storm system, a watch may be upgraded to a warning, which is an urgent message that severe weather is either occurring or will occur.

- Guías sobre Técnicas de Rescate
Su papel en el rescate el el mar. Como navegante, es posible que usted tenga que rescatar a personas en peligro en el mar. Puede tratarse de alguien que haya caído por la borda de su propio buque o puede que su buque haya acudido al lugar en el que se ha producido un suceso. Es posible que le avisen con poco tiempo y que haya vidas que dependan de usted. En muchas zonas del mundo, particularmente en zonas que están fuera del alcance de los medios de búsqueda y salvamento (SAR) en tierra, puede que su buque sea la primera unidad de salvamento, o incluso la única, que llegue a tiempo. El proceso de rescate es a menudo difícil. La guía se centra en el rescate y en lo que usted puede tener que hacer para lograrlo. Está destinada a ser utilizada como documento de referencia. Debe usted leerla ahora y remitirse a ella mientras se dirija al lugar del suceso a fin de prepararse para las operaciones de rescate. En ella se sugieren técnicas de rescate prácticas que han sido utilizadas con éxito para rescatar a personas en peligro en el mar (OMI, MSC.1/Circ.1182/Rev.1, 2014).

- Sistema de Notificación de la Situación de las Naves - CHILREP
El CHILREP es un sistema voluntario "positivo", es decir, si se pierde contacto con el buque y no se recibe una notificación de la situación o final (arribo a puerto o salida del área SAR nacional), el Centro o Subcentro Coordinador de Búsqueda y Salvamento Marítimo iniciará las indagaciones y adoptará los procedimientos para determinar si el buque se encuentra o no seguro. Sin perjuicio que el CHILREP es voluntario, la reglamentación nacional dispone que todo buque extranjero que se dirija a un puerto chileno debe comunicar su arribo con un mínimo de 24 horas de anticipación. Cuando los buques extranjeros se desplacen por aguas interiores de la República deberán comunicar su posición a las 12:00Z y 24:00Z. En las demás situaciones, el sistema considera un informe diario entre las 12:00Z y 16:00Z. Los buques de bandera chilena deben notificar su posición a las 12:00Z y 24:00Z diariamente (También archivo PDF descargable).
- CHILREP - Ship Reporting System
CHILREP is a “positive” voluntary system that is, if contact with a vessel is lost and no report is received (arrival in port or departure from the national SAR area), the Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Centre or Sub-Centre shall initiate inquiries and adopt procedures to determine whether the vessel is safe or not. Notwithstanding that participation in the system is voluntary, domestic regulations provide that all foreign vessel bound to a Chilean port must report her arrival at least 24 hours in advance. When foreign vessels navigate inland waters of the Chilean Republic they must report their position at 12:00 Z and 24:00 Z. Under other conditions, the system considers a daily report between 12:00 Z and 16:00 Z. Chilean flagged vessels must report their position at 12:00 Z and 24:00 Z daily.

- Hong Kong Tidal Stream Prediction System
Hydrographic Office (HO) of Marine Department has introduced a computer-based Tidal Stream Prediction System (TSPS) to generate tidal stream predictions for some 1,200 points across Hong Kong waters. The predictions include the tidal stream speed and direction for each point at 15-min interval for two years and one day. The prediction period includes an immediate past year, current day and a year thereafter. Such information is available to the public users for on-line access and downloading in this website. These predictions will deviate from the actual conditions in the field since temporal and localised meteorological effects and non-tidal flow variations could not be taken into account. According to the comparison of the predicted data with the actual field observed data, the average difference in current peak magnitude ranges from 0.03 m/s to 0.21 m/s, while the average phase difference in peak velocity was about 17 minutes.

- Ice conditions for Baltic Sea
PDF ice chart in color ir black and white. Also simplified ice chart and reference charts. The ice chart of the whole Baltic Sea (pdf) is published in the autumn twice a week (Monday and Thursday) and daily when the amount of ice increases until until ice break-up in spring. It represents current ice situation, ice breaker positions and traffic restrictions in the Baltic Sea. The simplified charts are updated once a week at the latest on Tuesday morning. The first one represents measured level ice thicknesses, ice coverage and sea surface temperature. The reference charts represent average, 1965 – 1986, ice situation on that day (= normaali), last week´s situation, last year´s situation and the positions of the ice breakers.
- Baltic sea: Ice Drifters
Ice drift patterns from Baltic ice drifters for the past 48 hours. Drift ice is carried along by winds and sea currents. It affects the security of navigation. Prototype sea ice products: should always be used with complementary ice information.
- Space weather
The term space weather refers to phenomena caused by solar wind and solar flares in the near-Earth space and the upper part of the Earth's atmosphere. The map shows the locations of observation stations and the latest observations made by them for earth's magnetic field. If the latest measured variation in the magnetic field exceeds the threshold level for auroras, the spot over the location of the station is red. Those situations are usually occured with disturbed space weather conditions and can be important for GPS, radio communications and spacecraft operations.
- Space weather advisories
We have space weather/space climate and therefore also space weather advisories. Besides sunlight entering our atmosphere, there is solar mass continuously flowing along the magnetic shield surrounding Earth. Our atmosphere and magnetosphere can respond in a dramatic way to an abrupt change in the continuous emittance of light and mass from the Sun. A solar storm initiates space weather processes which impact our satellite navigation and radio communication systems. For satellite navigation: The ionosphere plays a crucial role in satellite navigation. The signal sent by the satellite has to pass through the ionosphere to reach the receiver. Solar storms can introduce small scale structures in the ionosphere. When the signal encounters these obstacles, its amplitude and phase can alter very rapidly. Similarly, when the number of electrons in the ionosphere increases dramatically due to a solar storm, positioning errors are introduced in satellite navigation. For HF communication: The ionosphere is a layer at the top of our atmosphere which is ionised due to sunlight. Because the layer is ionised, it has the ability to reflect HF radio waves allowing long distance radio communication. HF radio waves have frequencies between 3 and 30 MHz. However, during solar storms, extra energy is deposited into the ionosphere, introducing additional ionisation and irregularities. HF radio waves can be absorbed or reflected in unforeseen ways, causing a radio communication failure. This malfunctioning can happen near the Earth’s poles or on the day-light side of the Earth, depending on the sort of solar storm and associated energy input. Space weather advisories shall be issued only when very strong space weather events occur (More information).

- En savoir plus sur la marée
Cette rubrique est destinée aux étudiants intéressés par le thème "marée" dans le cadre de TIPE. La documentation existant sur le site Refmar, l'ouvrage La marée et les fichiers de cette page doivent permettre aux étudiants de résoudre leur problématique.
- Marées : fascicules 1 et 2
Cours sur la marée par Gilles Bessero (SHOM, 1985). L'étude de la marée s'appuie sur sa régularité. Cette régularité est directement liée à celle des actions de la lune et du soleil pour déduire d'observations en un lieu donné des prédictions valables en ce lieu et dans son voisinage immédiat. C'est cet aspect qui constitue l'objet principal de ce cours; quelques notions sur la propagation des ondes de marée seront examinées dans les dernières leçons. On étudiera également les variations du niveau marin dues à d'autres influences que celles des astres, variations que l'on peut regrouper sous le nom de "niveau moyen".
- La marée océanique côtière (942)
Ouvrage de référence sur la théorie et la pratique de la marée par Bernard Simon (Institut Océanographique/SHOM, 2007). Pour les personnes intéressées par l’observation, l’analyse et la prédiction des variations du niveau marin pour les besoins de la navigation maritime, de l’hydrographie et des aménagements côtiers, l’ouvrage « La marée océanique côtière » présente les fondements de l’étude des marées océaniques et ses applications en zone côtière.

Le glossaire relatif à la marégraphie présente les termes et acronymes usités au travers des pages du portail Refmar.
- Horaires des marées
Cette application permet de calculer la marée dans les principaux ports du monde et pour tous les ports, principaux et secondaires, de France métropolitaine. Pour chaque port il y un annuaire de marées, la hauteur d'eau heure par heure et pour la France un calendrier des marées (dont les grandes) avec les coefficients. Ces prédictions sont calculées avec une précision de quelques centimètres pour les hauteurs et quelques minutes pour les heures; la hauteur d'eau réelle peut toutefois s'écarter notablement de la prédiction (jusqu'à plusieurs dizaines de centimètres) en raison notamment des variations du niveau de la mer dues aux perturbations atmosphériques. La référence de hauteur utilisée pour les prédictions de marée est le zéro des cartes qui, en général, correspond approximativement au niveau des plus basses mers - LAT : Lowest Astronomical Tide pour les Anglais (HTML).

Accéder à des jeux d'essai des produits S-101, S-102 et S-111. Depuis plusieurs années, l’OHI développe des normes (famille S-100) de produits hydrographiques et nautiques pour répondre aux enjeux de la «e-navigation». Ces normes visent à permettre l’adjonction de couches d’information superposables aux cartes électroniques de navigation, afin de fournir des informations complémentaires de sécurité (avis aux navigateurs, instructions nautiques), ainsi que d’autres informations (courants, météo, informations réglementaires sur les limites d’aires marines protégées par exemple, bathymétrie à haute résolution, etc.). Le cadre normatif S-100 garantit l’interopérabilité et l’affichage de ces couches additionnelles sur les systèmes de visualisation des cartes électroniques et d’information (ECDIS), compatibles S-100. Afin de soutenir le développement des usages autour des futurs produits et services S-100, le Shom élabore et propose des jeux de données tests. Actuellement, des jeux tests sont disponibles pour les produits suivants : S-101 (cartes électroniques de navigation), S-102 (surface bathymétrique) et S-111 (courants de surface). Ceux-ci qui couvrent la zone de Sain-Malo ne doivent pas être utilisés pour la navigation.

- Météorologie générale et maritime
Le manuel "Météorologie générale et maritime" rassemble les connaissances nécessaires à une bonne formation des navigateurs professionnels et amateurs. Conçu par des ingénieurs-prévisionnistes de Météo-France à l'intention des élèves officiers de la Marine nationale, l'ouvrage ne néglige ni les aspects théoriques, ni la pratique. Les phénomènes météorologiques sont décrits autant avec des mots qu'à l'aide de formules mathématiques. L'ouvrage s’organise en trois parties : la première, composée de six chapitres, présente les paramètres atmosphériques et les lois qui les régissent, la deuxième développe la représentation des paramètres météorologiques sur un diagramme thermodynamique, la formation des brouillards et des nuages et la notion de masse d'air, la troisième, le corps de l’ouvrage, aborde la circulation générale, la météorologie des régions tempérées, tropicales et polaires et les phénomènes locaux (J.-Y Le Vourc'h, C. Fons et M. Le Stum, ENM, 2001).
- Les tempêtes, les dépressions : comment elles se forment, comment elles évoluent
Idées actuelles sur les perturbations aux latitudes tempérées. Si vous pensez qu’une dépression apparait à chaque rencontre d’air chaud et d’air froid, ce texte est pour vous. En effet ce document présente les différences entre la classique théorie norvégienne des perturbations (front polaire) et les conceptions actuelles de la météorologie dynamique des latitudes tempérées. Il s'adresse à ceux que l ’évolution du temps intéresse ou intrigue. Les idées sont exposées sans recours aux mathématiques (A. Joly, ENM, 1992).
- Connaissances de base sur la prévision des vagues
Objectifs généraux de l'ouvrage :1) utiliser les différents moyens actuels d'observation météo-océanographique pour quantifier les caractéristiques des vagues et houles en un point donné; 2) réaliser une prévision de vagues destinée à des usagers de la Météorologie, à partir de l'ensemble des documents d'exploitation disponibles dans un centre météorologique. Cette prévision devra pouvoir être présentée sous forme d'exposé verbal, et condensée pour être insérée dans un bulletin de prévision; 3) exposer et justifier cette prévision devant un usager de la Météorologie, voire devant un météorologiste; 4) énoncer succintement les caractéristiques des ondes rencontrées dans le milieu océanique (J. Manach, ENM, 1991).

Meteoalarm fournit l'information la plus appropriée, requise pour se préparer à des conditions météorologiques extrêmes attendues quelque part en Europe. sur terre et pour certaines zones littorales. Il vous alerte sur la survenue possible de conditions météorologiques sévères, comme les fortes pluies, les orages violents, les vents tempétueux, les vagues de chaleur, le brouillard, la neige (incluant le blizzard), ou le froid extrême. Il vous alerte aussi sur des événements causés ou influencés par ces conditions météorologiques, comme les avalanches, ou les fortes vagues à la côte.
Prévisions de vigilance météorologique pour la terre et certains littoraux - Cartes de vigilance météorologique
La vigilance météorologique est composée d'une carte qui signale si un danger (vent, orages, houle...) menace dans les prochaines 24 heures dans une zone donnée.

- L'ANFR au service du radiomaritime
Cette fiche, destinée aux plaisanciers, résume les obligations et conseils pour utiliser les équipements radio assurant sa sécurité en mer.
- Programmation du MMSI en pratique
Le MMSI est un code de neuf chiffres que l’ANFR attribue à un navire exploitant des équipements radio dotés notamment de l’Appel Sélectif Numérique (ASN ou DSC en anglais pour Digital Selective Calling). Il permet une identification sûre du navire par les centres de secours tout spécialement en cas de détresse. Si votre VHF n’est pas programmée avec un MMSI délivré par l’ANFR, le poussoir rouge de détresse ne sera pas opérationnel en cas de problème, ainsi que les fonctionnalités s’y rattachant. Il est donc essentiel de savoir vérifier si sa VHF est correctement codée.
- GPS et risques de brouillage
Les systèmes de géolocalisation par satellite, comme GPS ou Galileo, jouent un rôle essentiel dans de nombreux secteurs d’activité comme les transports maritimes, les services de secours aux victimes ou la sécurisation des échanges de marchandises. Or nos GPS dépendent du signal de satellites situés à environ 20 000 km de distance. Un brouilleur, même peu puissant, aveugle sur le champ tous les GPS alentour. Égalemeent disponible une version de GPS et risques de brouillage adaptée à la Nouvelle-Calédonie
- La balise de détresse Cospas-Sarsat
L’unique système de balise de détresse reconnu par le système mondial de détresse et de sécurité en mer (SMDSM), veillé par les centres chargés de la recherche et du sauvetage partout dans le monde, est la balise de détresse Cospas-Sarsat qui émet sur 406 MHz (Plus d'information).
- La VHF : modalités et conditions d’utilisation
Les émetteurs-récepteurs du service mobile maritime dans la gamme des ondes métriques (VHF) sont des éléments importants de sécurité pour la navigation de plaisance et l’organisation des secours en mer. Depuis le 1er janvier 2017, la VHF fixe est obligatoire pour une navigation semi-hautuière (entre 6 et 60 milles d’un abri). Les obligations dépendent de la zone d’utilisation de la VHF, soit dans les eaux territoriales françaises, soit dans les eaux internationales.

- Cyber sécurité : renforcer le niveau de protection du navire
L’utilisation d’armes numérique n’est désormais plus un fantasme et peut impacter sur le transport maritime qui est un maillon essentiel et incontournable des échanges économiques mondiaux. C’est dans ce contexte que la France a mis en œuvre une stratégie de sensibilisation des armateurs afin d’engager une politique de sécurisation des systèmes d’informations à bord de leurs navires. L'objectif principal est de sensibiliser les compagnies maritimes aux cybers menaces à bord du navire.
- Guide 1 - Evaluer et protéger le navire : décrit les mesures à mettre en oeuvre afin d’élever le niveau de protection du navire
- Guide 2 - Renforcer la protection des systèmes industriels du navire : illustre les moyens pouvant être mis en place pour protéger les systèmes industriels embarqués à bord du navire
- Guide 3 - Guide des bonnes pratiques de sécurité informatique à bord des navires : sensibilise le marin et la compagnie pour mieux appréhender le cyber risque
- Synthèse - Cyber sécurité du navire : présentation des outils de sensibilisation
- Guide des bonnes pratiques de sécurité informatique à bord des navires
Ce guide adapte aux spécificités du transport maritime les bonnes pratiques de securité informatique. En effet systèmes d’information et réseaux informatiques ont progressivement envahi le milieu maritime et sont désormais omniprésents sur les navires. Cette évolution expose chaque jour les équipages à de nouveaux risques : vol d’informations, prise de contrôle à distance de systèmes informatiques, sabotage, etc. La prévention des incidents et attaques informatiques relève pourtant la plupart du temps de réflexes simples, qui concourent à une protection globale du navire (DAM & ANSSI).
- Alertes de sécurité sur les produits de plaisance et loisirs nautiques
Les fabricants ont l'obligation de rappeler les produits non conformes mis sur le marché et ont l'obligation d'apporter les mesures correctrices. Les rappels de produits non conformes, listés dans cet article, sont réalisés dans le cadre règlementaire européen.

SNSM - Les sauveteurs en mer
- Fiches conseils de la SNSM
La sécurité en mer et sur la plage commence par la prévention car de nombreux pratiquants de loisirs nautiques sous-estiment les dangers de la mer. Que vous soyez un navigateur chevronné, un pratiquant de kitesurf ou un simple utilisateur de la plage, les Sauveteurs en Mer ont de nombreux conseils à vous donner.
- Que faire en cas de voie d'eau sur votre bateau ?
- Que faire en cas de feu à bord d’un bateau ?
- Comment sauver un homme à la mer ?
- Comment éviter et soigner l’hypothermie en mer ?
- ...
- Comment se situer en mer ?
La carte, mais aussi les yeux, le sondeur, le loch, le compas de relèvement… et le bon sens. Tout cela doit être mis en oeuvre pour ne pas finir sur les cailloux, et être capable de dire aux sauveteurs où l’on est, le cas échéant.
- Comment alerter les secours en mer ?
En suivant ces recommandations, vous faciliterez la mission des secours et raccourcirez les délais d’intervention. Alerter prioritairement par VHF canal 16 ou à défaut par téléphone portable en composant le 196. Il faut distinguer le message de détresse du message d’urgence.

- Météo : les dictons et les prévisions
Pour aider la tâche de l’observateur en mer, un certain nombre de dictons ont franchi les siècles et nous apportent encore aujourd’hui, pour certains d’entre eux, tout le savoir des anciens. « Le vieux a beaucoup navigué, profite de son savoir », recommande le dicton. C’est ce que nous allons essayer de faire en citant nombre de proverbes marins et en expliquant leur signification par rapport à l’observation de différents phénomènes météorologiques. À l'observation, cela se vérifie !

- Guidelines for masters of cruise and passenger ships arriving in Iceland
Sailing in Icelandic waters may be very demanding and there are few places in the world where a change in weather can be as abrupt. Weather can be very changeable, especially in winter. Danger can also arise in the summer when low pressure areas with high wind conditions and added wave height can compromise maritime safety. It is therefore important to proceed carefully and follow rules on maritime safety in all respects.

- Port Warning & Signals
In accordance with international procedure, ports are warned and advised to hoist "Signals" whenever adverse weather is expected over the ports for the oceanic areas, in which it is located due to the tropical cyclone. However, regional difference exists. The warning messages normally contain information on the location, intensity, direction and speed of movement of the tropical cyclone and the expected weather over the port (CWD/RSMC).
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on Tropical Cyclones
More than a hundred Frequently Asked Questions on Tropical Cyclones: What is a tropical cyclone?, Why do ‘tropical cyclones' winds rotate counter-clockwise (clockwise) in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere? What does "maximum sustained wind" mean?, How does it relate to gusts in tropical cyclones?, What is the energy potential of a Tropical Cyclone?, How are low pressure system classified in India? What are the differences between low, depression and cyclone?, etc (CWD/RSMC).
- Interactive Cyclone Track Map
This is an interactive GIS enabled map showing track and intensity of a cyclonic disturbance. The black line indicates the observed track and the red line shows the forecast track. The uncertainty in the track forecast is represented by green colored "cone". The state of sea is defined based on the maximum sustained winds associated with the system and accordingly action is suggested for fishermen (CWD/RSMC).

L'altezza significativa (Hs o H 1/3) è l'altezza media del terzo di onde più alto. In pratica se si mettono in scala crescente di altezza tutte le onde presenti in un'area della superficie del mare e si prende la media del terzo più alto si ottiene l'altezza significativa. Questa misura ha il vantaggio di essere molto vicina all'altezza che un osservatore esperto rileva ad occhio nudo dal ponte di una barca. Esempio: previsione di mare molto mosso con onde di 2 metri (altezza significativa (Hs) di 2 metri). Che tipo di onde posso incontrare in mare? – 1 onda ogni 2000 (Hmax) avrà altezza di 4 metri – 1 onda ogni 100 (H 1/100) avrà altezza di 3,3 metri ( 2 metri x 1,67) – 1 onda ogni 10 (H 1/10) avrà altezza di 2,5 metri ( 2 metri x 1,27). L'altezza massima dell'onda è il doppio dell'altezza significativa s(Info sul modello).

The publication depicts yacht routes in the Republic of Korea on chart-based sheets, allowing users to select routes by estimated time and lists latest marina information for yacht repair, supplies and mooring. In particular, this second edition features QR codes which show aerial videos of beautiful marinas, procedure for entering and departing ports, information on operator’s license tests, and safety rules and is available in English and Korean versions. KHOA hopes that the publication will help all yacht lovers enjoy marine leisure activities safely.

- Coordinate systems at sea
For safe navigation at sea, it is important to know your position as well as the positions of obstacles. Positions are expressed in coordinates. Positions at sea are expressed in latitude and longitude, and height or depth with respect to a specified water level. Coordinates are only meaningful if you know the coordinate system they refer to. These are the so-called coordinate reference systems. Mariners have to know which coordinate reference system to use for positioning.

- IJskaarten
IJsvorming op de vaarweg kan ernstige vertraging veroorzaken voor de scheepvaart. Daarnaast kunnen zogenaamde "ijsdammen" zorgen voor overstromingen. De ijstoestand op de Waddenzee, zeearmen en IJsselmeer is ook afhankelijk van de wind en/of het getij. De berichtgeving op deze pagina omvat de ijsberichtgeving voor de binnenwateren. Op de ijskaart van Nederland is de bevaarbaarheid van vaarroutes aangegeven. De kaart wordt dagelijks ververst zolang er ijs op de binnenwateren ligt en de binnenvaart er mogelijk hinder van ondervindt. Onder de kaart treft u een legenda aan met de verklaring van de in de kaart gebruikte lijnen, kleuren en codes (Vaarweginformatie).
- Cartes des glaces
La formation de glace sur les voies navigables peut ralentir considérablement la navigation. En outre, des embâcles peuvent être à l'origine d'inondations. Le niveau des glaces dans la Mer des Wadden, les bras de mer et l'IJsselmeer dépend également du vent et/ou des marées. Les avis présents sur cette page concernent les avis de glace pour les eaux intérieures. La navigabilité des routes est indiquée sur la carte des glaces des Pays-Bas. Cette carte est actualisée chaque jour tant qu'il y a de la glace sur les eaux intérieures, et que cela peut gêner la navigation intérieure. Sous la carte, une légende clarifie les traits, couleurs et codes utilisés (Service d'information sur les chenaux/Vaarweginformatie).
- Ice charts
Ice on the waterways can cause serious delays for shipping. In addition, so-called "ice dams" can cause flooding. The ice situation on the Waddenzee, estuaries and IJsselmeer also depends on the wind and/or the tide. The notifications on this page relate to ice notifications for the inland waters. The ice chart of the Netherlands shows the navigability of courses of navigation. The chart is updated on a daily basis for as long as there is ice on the inland waters and inland shipping may be affected by it. The key to the symbols underneath the map explains the lines, colours and codes used on the chart (Fairway Information Services/Vaarweginformatie).

- Tide Tables for the Norwegian Coast and Svalbard
«Tide Tables for the Norwegian Coast and Svalbard» gives times and heights of high and low waters for 16 standard ports in Norway and the British port of Dover. Table B gives tidal corrections for predicting tidal heights and times in 175 secondary ports. The times of high and low waters are given in Norwegian standard time (UTC+1 hour). During the daylight saving time the time of day has to be increased by one hour. The time zone for the Dover tide table is UTC. The heights are given in cm above the Norwegian Chart Datum.
- Tidevannstabeller for den norske kyst med Svalbard
«Tidevannstabeller for den norske kyst med Svalbard» er Norges offisielle tidevannstabell. Tabellen gir tidspunkt og høyder for høy- og lavvann for 16 standardhavner i Norge. Som referanse for strømoppgavene i Nordsjøkartene er tidevannstabell for Dover tatt med. Tabellen inneholder også tidskorreksjoner og høydekorreksjonsfaktorer for bestemmelse av tidevannet i 175 sekundærhavner. Tidspunktene for høy- og lavvann i de norske havnene er gitt i norsk normaltid (UTC + 1 time). Når sommertid gjelder må de oppgitte tidene økes med 1 time. Tidevannstabellen for Dover er i tidssone UTC. Tidevannshøydene er gitt i cm over sjøkartnull, som også er referansenivå for dybder i sjøkartene.
- Se havnivå - Water level and tidal informations
Se havnivå provides water level and tidal information by place or position (HTML).
- Se havnivå - Vannstand og tidevannsinformasjon
Se havnivå: tidevann og vannstand etter sted eller posisjon (HTML).
- More About Tides and Water Level
The water level at a certain place is the sum of the astronomical tide and the weather’s effect on the water level. Globally, semi-diurnal tides are most common, meaning two high and low tides each day.
- Lær om tidevann og vannstand
Vannstanden varierer på grunn av tidevannet og påvirkning fra været. De fleste steder i verden har vi to høyvann og to lavvann hver dag (flo og fjære).
- Lær om referansenivå
For å kunne bestemme høyder og dybder må man ha noe å referere til – et nullnivå. Vi har ulike referansenivåer for sjø og land.

- Digital rutetjeneste - routeinfo.no
Rutetjenesten er gratis og utviklet for navigatører for å gjøre innseilingen til norske havner tryggere og enklere. Fra routeinfo.no kan navigatører laste ned seilingsruter gratis for effektiv og god ruteplanlegging i forkant av en seilas. Ved å søke på en havn, eller klikke i kartet, kan en komme til den enkelte seilingsrute, eller så kan man på infosiden laste ned pakken med alle seilingsrutene. Referanserutene fås på filformatet RTZ som er den internasjonale standarden for maritime navigasjonssystemer, og kan lastes rett inn på fartøyets ECDIS/ECS. Kystverket anbefaler at referanserutene brukes under planlegging av seilaser til norske havner. Ved valg av rute i routeinfo.no får man også opp viktig informasjon som gjelder for den spesifikke ruten du har valgt: Gjeldende forskrifter for anløp til aktuelle havner og kaier, Seilingsdistanser, VHF-kanal i sjøtrafikksentralområder (VTS) ligger i seilingsrute-filene på aktuelle waypoint, Kai- og havneplasseringer.

- Overgang til IALA-standard
IALA har en anbefaling for hvordan sektorene på ei fyrlykt bør være inndelt for å være intuitiv og gi en god forutsigbarhet (IALA Guideline 1041 - Sector Lights Ed 3.0). Kystverket har besluttet å tilpasse seg denne anbefalingen, og starter å endre på sektorene fra 2019. Arbeidet er ventet å være ferdig innen utgangen av 2025. Prinsipp for anbefalingen er: Når en sjøfarende stevner mot en fyrlykt i hvit sektor, skal sektoren på styrbord side være grønn, og sektoren på babord side skal være rød. Dette gjelder uansett hvilken himmelretning man kommer fra.

- Compulsory pilotage in Svalbard
For pilotage the same rules apply on Svalbard as for mainland Norway. I.e. vessels with at length of 70 meters or more and passenger vessels with a length of 50 meters or more are subject to compulsory pilotage when sailing in Svalbard internal waters. For vessels carrying dangerous cargo the length limits are shorter.
- Losplikt på Svalbard
De samme reglene for losplikt gjelder på Svalbard som på fastlandet. Det betyr at fartøy på 70 meter eller mer og passasjerfartøy på 50 meter eller mer er lospliktige ved seilas innenfor grunnlinjene. For fartøy med farlig last er lengdegrensene kortere.

- Significant wave height forecast (IPMA)
By the Portuguese Sea and Atmosphere Institute. Combined sea and swell describes the combined height of the sea and the swell that mariners experience on open waters. The height of the Combined sea and swell refers to the average wave height of the highest one third of the waves. Combined sea and swell is also known as total wave height, or significant wave height.

El DST con mayor Tráfico es Tarifa, seguido por Finisterre y Cabo de Gata.
- Guía Sanitaria a Bordo (ISM)
La Guía Sanitaria a Bordo forma parte obligada del botiquín del barco, editada y distribuida gratuitamente por el ISM , está configurada como un vademécum de los conocimientos básicos que deben tener los responsables sanitarios de los buques y como un catálogo práctico de procedimientos a seguir pero siempre a indicación de los facultativos del Centro Radio-Médico de la Entidad. La idea fundamental que ha dirigido la redacción de esta Guía es la de que sirva de instrumento en las consultas médicas realizadas a distancia. Además, debe permitir poder utilizar el botiquín en caso de necesidad urgente o cuando, por imposibilidad técnica, no se pueda comunicar con el Centro Radio-Médico. Pero, también, la Guía debe servir de recuerdo, en muchos casos primera información, de las medidas preventivas a adoptar en los barcos para mantener la salud y, si llega el caso, saber qué hacer ante un fallecimiento a bordo.
- Equipos de radiocomunicaciones
El "Reglamento por el que se regulan las radiocomunicaciones a bordo de buques civiles españoles" identifica los equipos que deben llevar las embarcaciones de recreo, según las zonas de navegación en las que están autorizados a navegar. Los equipos consisten en estaciones de radio fijas (en VHF y OM, con Llamada Selectiva Digital - LSD), Inmarsat, estaciones portátiles de VHF, terminales NAVTEX, radiobalizas (RLS - EPIRB), respondedores de radar (RESAR - SART), y sistema de posicionamiento por satélite (GPS).

- Predicción Marítima: mapas con altura de oleaje
El color nos indica la altura significativa de la mar total, que es la mar resultante de la combinación de mar de viento y mar de fondo (la altura significativa se define como la media aritmética del tercio de olas más altas), y la escala de colores viene a la derecha. Las flechas se refieren a la mar de viento (flecha gris) y la mar de fondo (flecha blanca). La longitud de dichas flechas es proporcional a la altura relativa de cada componente respecto a la altura de la mar total, con lo que nos da idea de cual de ellas es la que predomina, y el sentido de la flecha nos indica el de propagación del oleaje.

- Tidvatten
Tidvatten är ett fenomen som upprepar sig med stor regelbundenhet. Det uppstår på grund av solens och framförallt månens dragningskraft på jorden. Höjden på tidvattnet runt Sverige är liten, några decimeter längs Västkusten och enbart ett fåtal centimeter i Östersjön (SMHI).
- Vattenstånd och vågor
Kartan visar positioner där det mäts havsvattenstånd eller vågor. Klicka på en punkt i kartan eller använd drop down-listan för att se observationer och prognoser i ett diagram eller tabell (SHMI).
- Nytt referenssystem för vattenstånd i havet
Från och med den 3 juni 2019 uttrycks havsvattenstånd i SMHIs observationer, prognoser och varningar i Rikets Höjdsystem 2000 (RH 2000) istället för relativt medelvattenståndet (RW). RH 2000 är Sveriges nationella referenssystem för höjder och djup. Övergången till RH 2000 är ett steg mot enhetliga referenssystem på nationell nivå och innebär många fördelar. Till exempel underlättar det vid analyser som omfattar både land och hav eller då man vill räkna ut vattendjupet under kölen på en båt eller ett fartyg (SHMI).
- Swedish ice service
The ice service at Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) is responsible for providing up-to-date information about the ice conditions in the Baltic Sea region: Daily ice chart, sea surface temperature chart, ice report.
- Baltic Sea Ice Code
Baltic Sea Ice Code is a four digit code used to describe ice conditions in ports, fairways, coastal areas and certain ship routes. The code is developed in cooperation between the countries around the Baltic Sea to provide a common terminology.

- Is till havs
Iskartan visar is på havet, Vänern och Mälaren. Isen analyseras av en isexpert utifrån observationer och satellitbilder. Satellitbilderna visar is och ytvattentemperatur till havs. Kartan är en generell analys och isen kan se helt annorlunda ut lokalt. Gör alltid en egen bedömning av isen där du befinner dig. (SMHI).
- Olika typer av is till havs
Det förekommer en mängd olika uttryck för olika slags is. Dessa har med åren förändrats och anpassats till den internationella isnomenklatur för all slags havsis som WMO kommit överens om (SMHI).
- Östersjökoden för havsis
Östersjökoden används för att kortfattat kunna beskriva isförhållandena i farleder, hamnområden och för sjöfarten viktiga passager. Uppdatering av gällande iskoder sker dagligen under issäsongen (SMHI).

These fully compliant trial S-101 ENC products (S-101 ENCs will eventually replace S-57 ENCs) have been produced to support ECDIS manufacturers and associated partners in the development and practical use of these navigational datasets. These products conform to the IHO S-100 data framework and depict a major maritime area of southern England – the Solent and approaches to the Ports of Southampton and Portsmouth. The data coverage matches that of the existing S-57 GB ENC schema for conformity and to aid comparison and interoperability with additional S-100 products. These products should only be used for testing purposes and are not to be used for navigation. - Zones of Confidence (ZOC) table
Information on page 123 (VII-2). Category Zone of Confidence (CATZOC) values are assigned to geographical areas to indicate whether data meets a minimum set of criteria for position, depth accuracy and seafloor coverage. The Zone of Confidence (ZOC) value is dependent on the positional and depth accuracy of the survey. Our Zones of Confidence (ZOC) table outlines the position accuracy, depth accuracy and seafloor coverage for each of these values to help you manage the levels of risk during navigation (NtM 34/2021).

- A Cruising Guide to French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana
The countries of French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana form a cruising ground that is still well off the beaten track. Cruising boats visiting these countries number only a few hundred each year, and the majority of cruisers visit just a handful of anchorages. The rest of the region is almost unvisited by tourists or by cruisers. It is generally undeveloped, and provides an opportunity for cruisers to experience pristine rainforest with abundant flora and fauna, small towns, and jungle settlements of considerable cultural interest.
- South Africa to the Caribbean - A Passage Planning Guide
Driven by concerns over security along the Red Sea route, the cruising route from South Africa to the Caribbean has become increasingly popular in recent years. This new Royal Cruising Club Pilotage Foundation publication covers the principal routes from South Africa to the Caribbean. Author, Chris Hamblin, has brought together his own research with the cruising information and photos contributed to the Pilotage Foundation by yachtsmen and women who have sailed these routes in recent years

- Polar Yacht Guide
Polar Yacht Guide for non-SOLAS pleasure yachts in Polar Waters. The goal of this guide is to encourage safe and environmentally-friendly navigation by pleasure yachts in Polar Waters, attention is drawn to the Polar Code. A group of experienced high latitude sailors have written the Polar Yacht Guide (PYG) as a voluntary code of practice. The PYG, which is specifically designed for yachts, is in three parts: (a) Safety of navigation and voyage planning for all polar waters, (b) Arctic waters and (c) Antarctic waters. The PYG is intended to supplement existing guides and pilot books. The authors and contributors believe it will be more effective than mandatory legislation.
- Electronic Navigation Systems - Guidance for safe use on leisure vessels
The objective of this booklet is to provide guidance on the safe use of electronic navigation and associated systems on leisure vessels. Indeed, good navigational safety is still dependent on the continuous assessment by the skipper/navigator of all the navigation-related information available on the vessel – and not just over-concentrating on some, however beguiling they may be. So the aim of this booklet is to improve awareness of the current vulnerabilities and how to mitigate them, enabling all of us to make better and safer judgements, both when we are passage planning and when we are at sea. This is a summary of operational issues highlighting, where appropriate, the advantages and drawbacks of different systems and approaches, the "keys to safety" in many operational situations. Content: GNSS in marine navigation, Electronic charts and their display systems, Using Radar and AIS, Guarding against electronic failure on small craft, Key navigational skills, Future Developments (RIN & alt.).

Displaying Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) data at a scale larger than the data compilation scale is known as Over-Scaling. This is an unsafe practice because it gives the mariner a false sense of the positional accuracy of navigation hazards and incorrect distance between features, which could lead to unsafe mission planning and navigation. This is a particular concern for the small-scale General and Coastal DNCs. NGA strongly recommends that ECDIS display DNC libraries at their data compilation scale.
- Using Nautical Charts with Global Positioning System
With the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS), mariners can now navigate with much greater precision than ever before possible. This brochure focuses on the inherent limitations of nautical charts when plotting positions from GPS receivers.
- Declination: Magnetic North Pole Shifting Rapidly and Unpredictably
The Earth’s north magnetic pole is shifting so rapidly that steps are being taken to ensure it doesn't impact navigation. For example, over the past few decades the North magnetic pole has been drifting toward Siberia at an irregular speed: this migration can adversely affect the accuracy of navigation. This leads to more frequent updates of the World Magnetic Model, which describes the planet’s magnetic field and value of declination (GeoGarage blog).
- Handbook of Magnetic Compass Adjustment (Pub. 226)
The Handbook of Magnetic Compass Adjustment (DMA Pub. 226) includes information about terrestrial magnetism, the theory behind magnetic compass adjustment, and detailed procedures for manual correction of magnetic compass error.
- Magnetic Variation Charts WMM2020
The World Magnetic Model is the standard model used by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.K. Ministry of Defence, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), for navigation, attitude and heading referencing systems using the geomagnetic field. It is also used widely in civilian navigation and heading systems. The model, associated software, and documentation are distributed by NCEI on behalf of NGA. The model is produced at 5-year intervals, with the current model expiring on December 31, 2024. Smartphone and consumer electronics companies rely on the WMM to provide consumers with accurate compass apps, maps, and GPS services.
- Magnetic Variation Charts: Declination (2020)
Magnetic declination is an important concept for accurate navigation. A compass will always point along the lines of magnetic force (which converge on what are called the magnetic poles). The angle between the direction of force and the direction of the geographic north pole is called the declination. As one moves across the surface of the globe, lines of constant magnetic declination are called isogonic lines. These charts below depicts, for 2020, isogonic contours of magnetic variation at 2° intervals (Main Field Declination). The WMM now includes “Blackout Zones” around the magnetic poles, as defined by the strength of the horizontal field. Between 2000 and 6000 nanotesla (nT) horizontal field strength is the “Caution Zone” where compasses may start to become prone to errors. The area around the pole between 2000 and 0nT is the “Unreliable Zone” where compasses may become inaccurate.

- Magnetic Variation Annual Change Charts: Annual Change Declination (2020)
As the earth's magnetic field varies over time, the positions of the north and south magnetic poles gradually change. The magnetic declination at a given location also changes over time. These charts below depicts, for 2020, isogonic contours of annual change in magnetic variation at 2' intervals (Annual Change Declination). More information about The World Magnetic Model (NCEI).

The Coast Guard has issued Marine Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB) 05-21 to provide a brief overview of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) Worldwide Navigational Warnings Service. The IMO, in cooperation with the IHO and WMO, established a worldwide navigational warnings service to ships. Twenty-one navigational and meteorological areas (NAVAREAs and METAREAs) were established with responsibility for coordination and broadcast assigned regionally to various countries. Ships fitted with an inexpensive GMDSS Inmarsat-C or Iridium LT-3100S ship earth station will receive these international NAVAREA and METAREA warnings, as well as alerts from rescue coordination centers.
- Various GPS Interference & AIS Spoofing
Issue: Instances of significant GPS interference have been reported worldwide in the maritime domain. This interference can result in lost or inaccurate GPS signals affecting bridge navigation, GPS-based timing, and communications equipment (including satellite communications equipment). Over the last six months, an area in which multiple instances were reported was the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN) webpage, https://navcen.uscg.gov/gps-problem-report-status, contains a chronological list of recently reported GPS problems. Additionally, Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are open, unencrypted, and unprotected radio systems intended to operate on non-secure VHF-FM channels. As such, AIS signals can be spoofed, resulting in incorrect or missing AIS data.

Imagine a shipboard radar or an electronic chart display that includes a symbol for every significant ship within radio range, each with speed and heading. Each ship "symbol" can reflect the actual size of the ship, with position to GPS accuracy. By "clicking" on a ship symbol, you can learn the ship name, course and speed, classification, call sign, registration number, MMSI, and other information. The AIS is a shipboard broadcast system that acts like a transponder, operating in the VHF maritime band, that is capable of handling well over 4,500 reports per minute and updates as often as every two seconds.
- Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) Overview
The Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system is a designated International Maritime Organization (IMO) system designed to collect and disseminate vessel position information received from IMO member States ships that are subject to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). LRIT is a satellite-based, real-time reporting mechanism.
- Amver Ship Reporting Manual
The Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue System (Amver) is a worldwide voluntary ship reporting system operated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to promote safety of life and property at sea. Amver’s mission is to quickly provide SAR authorities, on demand, accurate information on the positions and characteristics of vessels near a reported distress. Any merchant vessel anywhere on the globe, on a voyage of greater than 24 hours duration, is welcome in the Amver system and family. International participation is voluntary regardless of the vessel’s flag of registry, the nationality of the owner or company, or ports of call (Manual in English, Chinese and Dutch).
- Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIB)
The US Coast Guard is releasing guidance and updated protocols for a variety of operations, maritime policies and regulatory requirements via Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIB). These releases has been issued for public information and notification purposes only.
- U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Security (MARSEC) Levels

All traditional NOAA paper nautical charts will be canceled by January 2025 NOAA has already started to cancel individual charts and will shut down all production and maintenance of traditional paper nautical charts and the associated raster chart products and services by January 2025. Mariners and other users of nautical charts are encouraged to use the electronic navigational chart (NOAA ENC®), NOAA's premier nautical chart product. Read more information about the Future of NOAA Charts.
- End of Traditional Paper Charts: transition to ENC
In November 2019, NOAA initiated a five-year process to end all raster nautical chart production, including the five traditional paper chart products. NOAA is intent on easing the transition to ENC-based products while continuing to support safe navigation. NOAA is aware that some chart users prefer paper charts. Although production of traditional paper charts will stop, a new form of paper nautical chart will be available through the NOAA Custom Chart capability (currently in prototype form). This system will enable users to create, customize, and print paper charts themselves, or have large format charts printed and delivered by a NOAA certified print-on-demand (POD) chart agent.
- Transforming the NOAA ENC
Implementing the National Charting Plan. Like many other chart producing national agencies, NOAA has recognized a change in mariners' preference for (and in some cases, required use of) ENCs over paper nautical charts and has adopted an “ENC-First” production process. That is, ENCs are recognized as being the "first" or the primary nautical chart product produced by NOAA. Critical corrections, such as newly discovered shoals and other dangers to navigation are applied to ENCs first. Table of Contents: Introduction - Importance of Nautical Charts for Maritime Commerce - ENC Related Regulation Changes - ENC-First Chart Production Strategy - Gridded ENC Product Scheme - Enhancements Implemented in New ENCs - Larger, Standard Scale Coverage - Depth Contour Metrification - Resolution of discontinuities in adjacent ENCs - Minimum Channel Depths on ENCs - Comparative Ease of Updating ENC Data - Precision navigation and High Definition Charts - Estimated ENC Rescheming Schedule - Glossary.
- Status of New NOAA ENCs - Rescheming
The layout of the extents or footprints of ENC charts is called a scheme – a term meaning a systematic configuration. ENC rescheming is a major component of the charting plan and is the means by which many other aspects of the plan will be implemented – such as compiling depth contours in metric intervals. The current ENC scheme is based on the extents of the paper nautical charts from which ENCs were originally digitized. Rescheming will replace this puzzle-piece layout with a rectangular grid of ENCs, often providing larger scale and more detailed coverage than the existing paper charts. This interactive map shows progress in gridding the NOAA ENC product suite, as described in Transforming the NOAA ENC: Implementing the National Charting Plan.
- NOAA Chart Display Service (NCDS)
The new NOAA Chart Display Service (NCDS) renders NOAA electronic navigational chart (NOAA ENC®) data with “traditional paper chart” symbology in applications for which a basemap of nautical chart data is desired. The new service uses symbols, labels, and color schemes familiar to those who have used NOAA paper nautical charts. This preview of the viewer available on the Coast Survey website give you an idea of what the NCDS rendered data looks like (More information).
- NOAA Custom Chart: ENC to PDF charts
Create and download charts based on your own scale, extent, and paper size settings. NOAA Custom Chart is a dynamic map tool which enables users to create their own paper and PDF nautical charts derived from the official NOAA electronic navigational chart (ENC). The online tool uses official NOAA ENC data to create nautical charts with customized scale and extent, which can then be downloaded as PDF files. The charts feature traditional chart components such as paper chart symbology – including NOAA-style symbols for aids to navigation and dangers to navigation, and a quality of data diagram. While these printable PDFs look a bit different from traditional paper charts, and initially will not meet carriage requirements for regulated vessels, NOAA Custom Chart utilizes the best available data, delivers an improved service for users, and ensures consistency between ENC and NOAA Custom Chart PDFs, resulting in the best quality chart regardless of the final format (More information).

- Cold Water Hazards and Safety
Survival time is greatly diminished for someone immersed in water below 70 degrees. When cold water makes contact with your skin, cold shock causes an immediate loss of breathing control. This dramatically increases the risk of sudden drowning even if the water is calm and you know how to swim. The danger is even greater if the water is rough. Immersion in cold water is immediately life-threatening for anyone not wearing thermal protection, like a wetsuit or drysuit, and not wearing a life jacket. Roughly 20 percent of those who fall into cold water die in the first minute of immersion due to cold water shock. Even strong swimmers will lose muscle control in about 10 minutes. Body heat can be lost 25 times faster in cold water than in cold air. Wearing a life jacket significantly increases chances of survival.

South of 30°N, areas are depicted for winds higher than 25 knots with the corresponding seas noted. North of 30°N, areas are depicted for winds of gale force (34 knots) or higher with the corresponding seas noted. Ranges in which the 25/34 knot thresholds are the upper limit (i.e. 25-35 knots) are included on the graphic. For more information.
East Pacific: Tropical Cyclone Danger Graphic (Also see Graphicast) Atlantic: Tropical Cyclone Danger Graphic (Also see Graphicast) - Tropical Cyclone Danger Graphic (Mariner's 1-2-3 Rule)
Between May 15 and November 30 (hurricane season).
The tropical cyclone danger graphic is intended to depict the forecast track and corresponding area of avoidance for all active tropical cyclones and to depict areas for which tropical cyclone formation is possible within the next 36 hours over the Atlantic and East Pacific waters between May 15 and November 30 (hurricane season). The 3-day forecast track of each active tropical cyclone is depicted along with a shaded "danger" region, or area of avoidance. The danger area is determined by adding 100, 200, and 300 nautical miles to the tropical storm force radii (34 knots) at the 24-, 48-, and 72-hour forecast positions, respectively (hence the Mariner's 1-2-3 rule). For more information. - Mariner's Guide For Hurricane Awareness In The North Atlantic Basin
This guide will hopefully aid the Mariner in understanding the complex structure and behavior of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean. Once armed with this knowledge, and the information on where to acquire forecasts and guidance for current tropical cyclones, the mariner can be prepared to "weather the storm" or better yet, avoid these catastrophic events altogether.
- Weather observations from buoys
National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) provides hourly observations from a network of buoys and Coastal Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations. All stations measure wind speed, direction, and gust; barometric pressure; and air temperature. In addition, all buoy stations, and some C-MAN stations, measure sea surface temperature and wave height and period. Large numbers of boaters use the observations, in combination with forecasts, to make decisions on whether it is safe to venture out. When away from a computer/the Internet Dial-A-Buoy gives mariners an easy way to obtain weather reports. Also mobile access to the buoys.

- NWS Observing Handbook No. 1
The importance of ship reports cannot be overstated: for every 100 observations on land, there is only about 1 observation at sea. Without your participation in the Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) program, there would be vast marine areas without data, making weather forecasting nearly impossible for these areas. Reporting weather not only contributes to your safety, but adds to your basic knowledge of seamanship.

- Hurricane Havens Handbook - North Atlantic
This Handbook provides guidance for assessing a hurricane threat's circumstances and likely impact on the given port to support decision-makers' reasonable choice between either remaining in port or evading at sea. This choice is based on informed compromise between a harbor's protective qualities, and the possibility that a sortie will prove to have been unnecessary (HTML, 2016).
- Typhoon Havens Handbook - Pacific
Severe tropical cyclones, also known as typhoons or hurricanes, are among the most destructive weather phenomena a ship may encounter whether the ship be in port or at sea. When faced with an approaching tropical cyclone, a timely decision regarding the necessity and method of evasion must be reached. Basically, the question is: Should the ship remain in port, evade at sea, or if at sea, should it seek the shelter offered by the harbor? This Handbook examines a number of western Pacific and Indian ocean ports and evaluates their potential as typhoon havens. This information should provide useful guidance to commanding officers in answering the above questions (HTML, 2018).
- Severe Weather Port Guide
These handbooks are intended as guidance for ship captains whose vessels are threatened by actual or forecast strong winds, high seas, restricted visibility or thunderstorms in the listed port areas. These regions are renowned for numerous areas where "Local Effects" on winds, seas, and visibility can cause dangerous operating conditions. Prior knowledge of these local characteristics and the resultant effects encountered can be extremely useful in the decision making process. Causes and effects of such hazardous conditions are discussed and precautionary or evasive actions are suggested for various vessel situations (HTML, 2014-2016).

Chapter 4 focuses on tropical cyclone motion, including a survey of tropical cyclone motion hypotheses and motion forecasting techniques. Chapter 5 discusses tropical cyclone forecast aids including empirical, statistical and dynamic aids. Chapter 6 defines the tropical cyclone intensity and emphasizes single station/ship intensity forecast procedures. Chapter 7 presents tropical cyclone structure. Knowledge of general meteorology, interest in tropical cyclone phenomena and experience of weather forecasting will enable use of the TCFRG (HTML, 1998).
- The Arctic Forecaster's Handbook
With continuing ice-melt and more open water present, increased commercial and military traffic will become evident, but not without cost. Surface Fleet and Aircraft Carrier Operations in the Arctic Ocean is a new challenge for the Arctic Forecaster. Snow, ice, freezing rain, wind, wind chill, floating ice and icebergs, to name a few, can take a toll quickly, rendering the fleet, equipment, communications and crew operations extremely difficult. The prudent Arctic forecaster will consider all products from climatology, satellite imagery through numerical products. The forecaster will need to more frequently update environmental information, build a good forecast and environmental recommendation to the fleet commanders in order to ensure the fleet is kept out of "harms-way" and remains an effective force. Use of this handbook will assist the Arctic Forecaster in that endeavor (HTML, 2015).
- Arctic Climatology
The following materials are provided as an introduction to Arctic region climate, weather, and other environmental conditions.

Cospas-Sarsat: Satellite System for Search and Rescue
- Cospas-Sarsat system overview
The basic Cospas-Sarsat concept for search and rescue: Distress radiobeacons (406MHz), LEOSAR, GEOSAR, MEOSAR, Local User Terminals (LUTs), Mission Control Centres (MCCs).
- Introduction to the Cospas-Sarsat system
This document introduces potential users to the Cospas-Sarsat System: a satellite-based beacon alert communication system for the support of Search and Rescue (SAR) operations around the world. The System uses spacecraft and ground facilities to detect and locate distress signals from emergency beacons carried on boats, on aircraft, and by individuals. The distress alert information, including the position of the distress beacon and other related information (such as the information provided when the beacon was registered), is sent by Cospas-Sarsat to the appropriate SAR authorities. Distress beacons include Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs, for use on aircraft), Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs, for use on ships), and Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs, for use in multiple environments by individuals).
- Transition to MEOSAR
The International Cospas-Sarsat Programme initiated the development of the Medium-altitude Earth Orbiting Satellite System for Search and Rescue (MEOSAR system), with SAR repeaters placed on the satellites of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) of Europe (Galileo), Russia (Glonass) and the USA (GPS). MEOSAR complements the existing LEOSAR (satellites in low-altitude orbits) and GEOSAR (satellites in geostationary orbit) systems, and will eventually replace the LEOSAR system.
- Cospas-Sarsat Beacon FAQ
A Cospas-Sarsat beacon, also called a distress radio beacon or emergency beacon, is a radio transmitter that can be activated in a life-threatening emergency to summon assistance from government authorities. When a distress beacon is activated, it transmits a signal at 406 MHz that can be detected by satellites. As the satellites orbit the earth, they "listen" for any activated beacons and carry the beacon signals to ground stations that compute their positions and report to rescue authorities. A beacon for use aboard a marine vessel is called an Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB). Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about distress beacons, Registration and Troubleshooting.

- Introduction au système Cospas-Sarsat
Ce document présente le Système Cospas-Sarsat aux utilisateurs potentiels. Il s’agit d’un système de communication destiné à faciliter les opérations de recherches et de sauvetage (Search and Rescue ou SAR) partout dans le monde, basé sur des alertes émises par des balises et captées au moyen de satellites. Le Système utilise des engins spatiaux et des installations au sol pour détecter et localiser les signaux émis par les balises de détresse équipant des navires et des aéronefs, ou transportées par des particuliers. Les informations d'alerte comprennent la position de la balise et d'autres informations connexes telles que les informations fournies lors de l'enregistrement de celle-ci dans une base de données. Elles sont envoyées par Cospas-Sarsat aux services SAR concernées. La famille des balises de détresse comprend les émetteurs de localisation d'urgence (ELT, destinés à être utilisés en avion), les radiobalises de localisation de sinistre (EPIRB, destinées à être utilisées sur des navires) et les balises de localisation personnelles (PLB, utilisées dans plusieurs environnements par des particuliers).
- Transition vers le système MEOSAR
Le Programme international Cospas-Sarsat a initié le développement d’un système de satellites orbitant autour de la Terre à moyenne altitude pour la recherche et le sauvetage (système MEOSAR), avec des répéteurs SAR (Search and Rescue) placés sur les satellites des systèmes de navigation mondiale européen (Galileo), russe (Glonass) et américain (GPS). Le système MEOSAR sera initialement un complément aux deux systèmes satellites déjà existant LEOSAR (en orbite basse) et GEOSAR (géostationnaires) et remplacera éventuellement le système LEOSAR.
- Foire aux Questions (FAQ) pour les Balises
Une balise de détresse est un petit émetteur radio qui peut aider les autorités de sauvetage à vous localiser si vous l’activez dans une situation où votre vie est en danger. Lorsqu’une balise de détresse est activée, celle-ci transmet un signal sur 406 MHz qui peut être détecté par satellite. Des satellites traitent, archivent et retransmettent les émissions des balises qui sont ensuite traitées par une station de réception au sol. La position est calculée puis transmise aux autorités de sauvetage. Une balise EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), en français radiobalise de localisation de sinistre (RLS), est à usage maritime.

- VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) Overview (G1117)
The VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) is seen as an effective and efficient use of radio spectrum, building on the capabilities of AIS and addressing the increasing requirements for data through the system. New techniques providing higher data rates than those used for AIS is a core element of VDES. Furthermore, VDES network protocol is optimized for data communication so that each VDES message is transmitted with a high confidence of reception. VDES increases the capability for digital data exchange in a manner similar to AIS, which includes provision of data to vessels in a geographic area (broadcast), to a specific vessel or a group of vessels in a geographic area (addressed) or to a fleet of vessels (addressed). This Guideline provides an introduction to the VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) at an overview level. It does not include technical details. This document is intended to assist in the understanding, development and promotion of VDES (IALA guideline G1117) - Risk Management Methodology for AtoN (G018)

- Systems and Services for High Accuracy Positioning and Ranging
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview about systems and services enabling high‐accuracy positioning or ranging in specific areas such as waterways, traffic separation schemes, traffic zones with limited manoeuvring space, ports and harbours, and congested waters with increased risks of collisions or groundings. In this Guideline the term “high‐accuracy positioning and ranging” refers to accuracies at sub‐metre level (IALA guideline G1127).
- GNSS Vulnerability and Mitigation Measures
This document considers all types of GNSS vulnerability within the maritime field, and the mitigation measures that may be used to overcome them. The effect on marine navigation of interruptions to GNSS will be significant. Where natural events, such as space weather, affect GNSS signal reception, it is likely that the effects will be observed over large areas and during any phase of navigation. Man-made interference is most likely to arise within coastal waters, since the sources of man-made interference are likely to be land-based and will be restricted to line-of-sight. However, the possibility of deliberate shipborne or airborne jamming cannot be ruled out (IALA recommendation R129).
- The Technical Approach to Establishing a Maritime eLoran Service
Service providers are opting to provide eLoran services as part of a robust PNT solution, as eLoran is dissimilar and complementary to GNSS services. The aim of this Guideline is to enable service providers to deliver, monitor and assess the performance of eLoran services in a common manner (IALA guideline G1125, 2017).

- Space Weather / Météo de l'espace
The Sun continuously emits energy into space. That energy emission by the Sun is variable and hence shapes a variable space environment which also impacts the Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere. Here are some impacts of the sun:
- Radiation at flight altitude
- HF communication disturbance
- GNSS positional errors
- ...
GNSS positional errors
The accuracy of positioning using GPS is degraded when there are Sun stroms. For exemple when charged particles ejected from the Sun arrive at the Earth, they can cause perturbations in the geomagnetic field. These disturbances will significantly modify the ionospheric propagation of radio waves used by GPS. The GPS accuracy depends on amplitude scintillations and variation of total electron contents (TEC). These phenomena are associated with geomagnetic stroms that create disturbances in the ionosphere. The total electron contents (TEC) of the ionosphere is the electron density (number of electrons in a given volume) and the can vary considerably, both in time and space. The time of GPS signal propagation increase with TEC. More information about Space Weather.
La précision du positionnement par GPS est dégradée lors de tempêtes solaires. Par exemple lorsque des particules chargées émises par le soleil atteignent la terre, elles peuvent perturber le champ géomagnétique terrestre. Ces perturbations vont modifier de manière importantes la propagation ionosphérique des ondes radioélectriques qui sont utilisées par le GPS. La précison du GPS depend de la scintillation d’amplitude et de la variation du contenu électronique total (TEC). Ces phénomènes sont associés aux tempêtes géomagnétiques qui créent des perturbations dans l'ionosphère. Les scintillations d'amplitude sont des fluctuations de l'amplitude du signal GPS (comme pour la lumière des étoiles). Le contenu électronique total (TEC) de l'ionosphère est la densité d'électrons (nombre d'électrons dans une région donnée) et il peut varier considérablement, dans le temps et dans l'espace. Le temps de propagation du signal GPS augmente avec le TEC. Plus d'information sur la météo de l'espace.

- Sunspot number series
The Sun is an active place and solar activity changes over time. Sunspots are dark, planet-sized regions that appear on the surface of the Sun. Because sunspots are associated with increased solar activity, space weather forecasters track these features to help predict solar storms that can impact Earth. Solar activity cycles between a minimum and a maximum about every 11 years. Studying how solar activity changes throughout the entire cycle improves our understanding of how Earth is affected and improves our space-weather forecasting abilities. When solar activity is at a maximum, strong magnetic fields cause numerous sunspots and more frequent solar storms. When solar activity is at a minimum, the Sun’s magnetic field weakens and there are few to no sunspots and fewer solar storms. Sunspots can cause geomagnetic storms in Earth’s magnetosphere. During a solar maximum, when sunspot numbers are at their peak, the Sun emits more electrons and protons than usual. These charged solar particles emitted from the Sun can enter the atmosphere and can disrupt infrastructure, such as satellites, navigation, communications, and the electric power grid. Through careful counting of sunspots, solar prediction scientists determined that a solar minimum (when there are the fewest number of sunspots) occurred in December 2019. This recent solar minimum marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 25 (the current 11-year sunspot cycle). Scientists predict that Solar Cycle 25 will peak in July 2025 (+/- eight months). As Solar Cycle 25 approaches its peak, and even for several years after, Earth will likely experience increased geomagnetic storms in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

- Space Weather: Ionospheric Effects on GPS (John A. Klobuchar)
The ionosphere can be the largest source of error in GPS positioning and navigation. Furthermore, under certain conditions, amplitude fading and phase scintillation effects can cause loss of carrier lock and intermittent GPS receiver operation.
- TEC: Affected by solar activity, Total Electron Content (TEC) describes the total number of free electrons present within one square meter between two points (i.e. between the receiver and satellite). The GPS radio signal is slowed by the presence of free electrons, causing an additional time delay. The larger the TEC quantity, the longer the delay in a received GNSS signal. The delay will cause a range error for the measures of the distance between a satelite and the receiver: one TEC unit causes a range error of 0.162 meter. The range errors will cause a position error if they remain uncorrected. However, this position error will usually be smaller than the range errors. Standard GPS receivers correct by software more than 50% of the range error (More information).
- Scintillation: Ionospheric scintillation is a rapid fluctuation of radio-frequency signal amplitude. It is generated when a signal passes through the ionosphere in a region with small scale irregularities in electron density. Ionosphere scintillation follows the 'solar cycle' which is affected by maximum sunspot activity and is primarily an equatorial and high-latitude ionospheric phenomenon. Scintillation affects satellites transmission with short-sterm signal fading that can severely stress the tracking capabilities of a GPS receiver. The higher the level of scintillation, the greater the errors (More information).

OpenSeaMap - The free nautical chart
OpenSeaMap is an open source, worldwide project to create a free nautical chart. There is a great need for freely accessible maps for navigation purposes, so in 2009, OpenSeaMap came into life. The goal of OpenSeaMap is to record interesting and useful nautical information for the sailor which is then incorporated into a free map of the world. This includes beacons, buoys and other navigation aids as well as port information, repair shops and chandlerys. OpenSeaMap is a subproject of OpenStreetMap and uses its database.

Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation
Much of the world depends upon satellite systems for precise navigation and timing services. These are exceptionally accurate and dependable, yet GPS/GNSS jamming, spoofing, and other forms of interference appear to be growing in frequency and severity. Neither are space systems immune to severe space weather or cyber-attack. This has the potential for devastating effects on our lives and economic activity. Our goals of deterring jamming and spoofing while encouraging additional resilient services will protect critical infrastructure and make the world a safer place. Include a libray with some of the more important documents in the field.

Admiralty EasyTide (UKHO)
The service provides tidal data for United Kingdom ports. Free predictions for the next 7 days with tidal curve.
Horaires des marées (SHOM)
Cette application permet de calculer la marée dans les principaux ports du monde et pour tous les ports, principaux et secondaires, de France métropolitaine. La référence de hauteur utilisée pour les prédictions de marée est le zéro des cartes qui, en général, correspond approximativement au niveau des plus basses mers (LAT : Lowest Astronomical Tide pour les Anglais). Il est possible d'insérez sur son propre site Internet les horaires de marée sous forme d'une vignette petite ou grande.
MARC : Modélisation et Analyse pour la Recherche Côtière
Coastal observations and forecasts for the coastlines of France & Overseas. MARC is a system aiming to provide a wide range of users, from private individuals to professionals, with daily observations and short-term forecasts about the coastal environment along the French coastlines bordering the English Channel, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea: currents, waves... All information contained on or available through this Web Site is for general information purposes only and does not constitute any investment advice. It can not be discerned or used with absolute reliability by anybody for a personal or professional activity such as maritime navigation. MARC does not replace offical forecast, warning and alert services nor official tide table predictions. Forecasts use French legal time. Maximum waves may be up to twice the significant height.

The Ice Logistics Portal was created as a joint initiative of the International Ice Charting Working Group, the JCOMM Expert Team on Sea Ice and Polar View for the International Polar Year. It is now maintained by the German Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie. It is intended to create a convenient point of access to operational sea ice information produced by the world's ice services. Access to products is provided via a series of pre-defined regions for both the Arctic and the Antarctic. Since the primary focus of the Ice Logistics Portal is on operational sea ice data (i.e. ice charts), only the most recent information is displayed for any given region.
