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.

Australian Chart and Publication Maintenance Handbook (AHP24)
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.

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.

- 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).

Bureau of Meteorology (BoM)

Marine weather knowledge centre
The Marine Weather Knowledge Centre provides information about the services the Bureau provides for mariners. These services include forecasts, warnings and observations for the coastal waters and high seas around Australia. See also in PDF : Marine Services Ready Reckoner.
Tide Predictions for Australia, South Pacific and Antarctica
To begin with the tide predictions, choose a location from the map or locations list. Tidal predictions are available in html and pdf. Also tidal streams predictions for Oom Shoal-Mackay (QLD), Hammond Rock (QLD) Tand The Rip (VIC). For some locations tidal predictions are based on limited observations and therefore expected to be less accurate.
Australian Tides Manual (SP9)
The Australian Tides Manual (SP9) brings together in a single, user-friendly form, a large number of existing sources of information on the measurement of tides and tidal currents (By the PCTMLS). Table of Contents: Basic Theory, Tidal Terminology, Analysis and Prediction, Tidal analysis, Tidal classification, Analysis of tidal currents, Long term sea level variability, Environmental Effects on Sea Level, Weather-related effects, Shallow water effects, Tidal Datum Epoch for LAT and HAT, Tidal Planes and Levels, Harmonics-based definitions, Observations-based definitions, The Australian Height Datum (pages 1 to 19).

Interactive Weather and Wave Forecast Maps
The Interactive Weather and Wave Forecast Map Viewer is used to display images of computer-generated forecast data for up to the next 7 days. The computer model generated maps contain no input from weather forecasters. The link of the map shows Day+0 data.
- 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.

Map of the word with Global navigation satellite system advisories

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.
Introduction to HF Radio Propagation
There can be many reasons why an HF signal may not reach the intended recipient, including solar flares, ionospheric storms, geomagnetic storms, equipment faults and the choice of frequency. Summary: 1. The ionosphere - 2. HF communications - 3. Effects of solar events on HF communications. Also in HTML.
HF Propagation Conditions
These pages provide general propagation advice for HF communicators. Information available includes inferred global propagation conditions, real time HF fadeout coverage charts, regional ionospheric vertical MUF maps and Hourly Area Prediction charts.

- 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 Classes of Ships
The aim of the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules (FSICR) is to ensure that ships engaged in trade in the Northern Baltic Sea have sufficient capability in ice to maintain safe and efficient navigation year round to Finnish and Swedish ports. A Finnish ice class is confirmed for all ships calling to Finnish ports. The fairway dues paid by the vessel and the availability of icebreaker escort are determined based on the Finnish ice class.
Guidelines for the application of the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules
The purpose of these Guidelines is to provide classification societies, ship designers and shipyards with background information on the ideas behind the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules (FSICR), to provide a harmonised interpretation for the implementation of certain parts of the rules, and to provide guidance on certain aspects of the winterisation of ships, which are not covered by the rules.

Veneilijöiden ja merenkulun radioluvat
Veneilijän tärkein yhteydenpitoväline merellä on meri-VHF-radiopuhelin. Laitteen merkitys korostuu erityisesti turvallisuuteen liittyvissä tilanteissa. Meri-VHF-radiopuhelin mahdollistaa suoran radioyhteyden veneen ja meripelastuskeskuksen tai veneiden välillä silloinkin, kun matkapuhelinverkossa ei ole kuuluvuutta. Meri-VHF-järjestelmä on kansainvälinen ja toimii pääosin samoilla säännöillä ja periaatteilla kaikkialla maailmassa. Meri-VHF-radiopuhelimen käyttö edellyttää radiolupaa ja henkilökohtaista pätevyystodistusta.

- 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).
- Wave forecast for Baltic sea & Archipelago sea
  On the map, different colours denote significant wave height, and the arrows show the direction of the waves in motion. Time in the wave forecast is local Finnish time.
- Weather warnings for Northern Baltic Sea
  The weather warnings usually cover the next 24 hours. The severity of the awareness level is shown on the map by means of a three-colour code system: green = no major danger, yellow = dangerous weather may occur, orange = dangerous weather, red = very dangerous weather.

  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".

Depuis l'archive extraire le document pdf situé dans le répertoire /RAM_PACK/PDF/.
- Glossaire relatif à la marégraphie
  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).

- Jeux de données test S-100
  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).

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.
- 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.

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).

Previsione del vento e mare nel Mediterraneo (LaMMa)
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).

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.

Corrections to nautical publications
To support safe navigation, the Hydrographic Service publishes the most important changes to nautical publications. It does so by issuing Notices to Mariners (NtMs). The list contains all notices in force per nautical publication.

Periodic lists
To support safe navigation, the Hydrographic Service publishes the most important changes to nautical products. It does so by issuing Notices to Mariners (NtMs). The weekly editions frequently contain periodical lists: P and T notices (Preliminary and Temporary) - Mobile offshore drilling units list (for Dutch charting area) - Measuring instruments list (not to fish nor anchor near these positions) - Cumulative list (NM applicable to the latest editions of the charts) - Water depth list (most recent water depths in the Wadden Sea area).

Van in bewerking zijnde uitgaven wordt in de laatste kolom de verwachte publicatiedatum genoemd.

Coördinatenstelsels op zee
Voor veilige navigatie op zee is het belangrijk uw positie en die van obstakels te weten. Posities worden uitgedrukt in coördinaten. Op zee zijn dat vaak geografische lengte en breedte, en hoogte of diepte ten opzichte van een vastgestelde waterstand. Coördinaten hebben alleen betekenis als het coördinatenstelsel bekend is waaraan zij refereren. Dit zijn de coördinatenreferentiestelsels. Een zeevarende moet weten welk coördinatenreferentiestelsel hij gebruikt voor plaatsbepaling.

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).

Polar waters
Safety information and guidance for vessels operating in polar waters.

Guidelines for fishing vessels in polar waters
These guidelines offer advice for operators of fishing vessels of 24 metres in length or more that operate in polar waters. These guidelines are modelled on the IMO’s International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Waters (‘Polar Code’). Applying these voluntary guidelines will help operators of fishing vessels in polar waters to safely navigate and manage the risks to their vessels, the people on board, systems and operations, and ensure they achieve the same level of safety as SOLAS vessels operating in polar waters
Guidelines for pleasure yachts operating in polar waters
These guidelines for pleasure yachts of 300 gross tonnage and above have been developed by IMO member states to supplement existing industry and/or national standards. They provide additional guidance aimed at increasing the safety of yachts and persons on board, to mitigate the additional risk arising from the climatic conditions and other hazards when operating in polar waters. These guidelines are recommendations only. Their wording is designed to provide guidance, rather than mandatory direction (MSC.1/Circ.1642, 2021).

Fatigue
Safe crews fish more. Fatigue is a serious problem in commercial fishing, causing many devastating and sometimes fatal accidents. But it doesn't need to be a problem. By understanding fatigue – its triggers, warning signs, and consequences – you can keep on top of it, and minimise the risk of your next fishing trip turning into a tragedy. We've done our homework on fatigue to make it easy for you to do yours.

What Is Fatigue?: Recognising fatigue (signs), tips for managing fatigue
Understanding Fatigue: Importance of sleep, what causes fatigue, legal obligations

How to develop a fatigue management plan for fishing boats
A guide for small fishing vessel owners and operators. Fatigue is a health and safety issue. Most maritime accidents caused by fatigue follow a lack of sleep or poor-quality sleep. By better understanding the causes and implementing strategies to manage fatigue, the risk of fatigue-related accidents will reduce. This sector guide is for vessel owners and operators. It contains: The importance of managing fatigue, Example of a fatigue management plan, How to write a fatigue management plan, How to document the steps for your internal review

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.

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.

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.

Norsk Fyrliste
Norsk fyrliste beskriver maritime navigasjonsmerker som gir lyssignaler på land og i sjøen, samt informasjon om andre hjelpemidler for navigasjon. Her finner du den kontinuerlig oppdaterte fyrlista i PDF-versjon (List of lights).

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.

ArcticInfo - Information on Arctic waters
ArcticInfo provides mariners with important information on Arctic conditions and decision support for safe navigation in Arctic waters. The service is map-based, free and accessible for everyone. It covers a wide area off the coast of Norway, Iceland, Russia, Canada and Greenland - including the Barents Sea and North Sea. Services: Ice map, AIS data, Weather forecast, Depth curves, Quay conditions, Storm warnings, Overview of Norwegian maritime borders, Reporting option.

ArcticInfo - Informasjon om arktiske farvann
ArcticInfo.no gir sjøfarende informasjon om seilingsforhold i arktiske farvann, og beslutningsstøtte for tryggere ferdsel i Arktis. Tjenesten er kartbasert og tilgjengelig for alle. Den dekker et stort havområde utenfor Norge, Island, Russland, Canada og Grønland - inkludert Barentshavet og Nordsjøen. Tjenester i ArcticInfo: Iskart, AIS-data, Værvarsel, Dybdekurver, Kaiforhold, Uværsvarsel, Oversikt over norske maritime grenser, Rapporteringsmulighet.

Ice chart for Svalbard (MET Norway/NIS)

Norwegian Ice Service
We provide the national ice service for vessel traffic. This includes updated information on ice conditions in Norwegian waters from the Swedish border to Kristiansand, and information on icebreaking in the main and secondary fairways outside port areas. Ice reports are available from December 1 to March 31.

Istjenesten i Norge
Gjenfrosne eller isete farvann og ising på fartøy skaper utfordringer for skipstrafikken. Når minusgradene blir mange og kulda vedvarer, tetner isen til i fjordarmer og smale sund langs kysten av Sør-Norge. Kystverket overvåker og melder is situasjonen fra svenskegrensen til Rogaland hele vintersesongen.

Forecast for waves
Forecast for selected fairways and areas on the Norwegian coast the coming 66 hours. Wave forecasts for particularly vulnerable areas help us to decide whether it is safe to be at sea. The service provides forecasts for selected shipping lanes and the areas around them. Forecasts are at three-hour intervals up to 66 hours in advance. The shipping lane forecasts contain data for significant and maximum wave height and wave direction for every hundred metres along particularly vulnerable coastal shipping lanes (BarentsWatch).

Bølgevarsel for farleder
Bølgevarsel for spesielt utsatte områder og strekninger gjør det lettere å avgjøre om det er trygt å ferdes på havet. Tjenesten gjelder både varsel langs utvalgte farleder og i området rundt disse farledene. Det gis varsel i tre timers intervaller inntil tre døgn fram i tid. Farledsvarslene inneholder data for signifikant og maksimal bølgehøyde, samt bølgeretning for hver hundre meter langs spesielt utsatte farleder langs kysten vår. Farledsvarslene inneholder data for signifikant og maksimal bølgehøyde, samt bølgeretning for hver hundre meter langs spesielt utsatte farleder langs kysten vår (BarentsWatch).

Navigational warnings
The NCA is responsible for sending navigational warnings for the Norwegian Sea, the Greenland Sea and the western part of the Barents Sea, an area known by mariners as NAVAREA XIX. We are also the national coordinator for coastal warnings for the Norwegian coast and the coast of Svalbard.

Navigasjonsvarsler
Kystverket er koordinator for NAVAREA XIX med ansvar for å sende navigasjonsvarsler for Norskehavet, Grønlandshavet og vestre del av Barentshavet. Kystverket er også nasjonal koordinator for navigasjonsvarsler med ansvar for å sende varsler for norskekysten og kysten av Svalbard.

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. 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. Information on test period.

GLONASS/ГЛОНАСС Instant Availability (PDOP)
Map with the current values of position geometry factor PDOP on the Earth surface (angle ≥ 5°, UTC+3). The PDOP value indicates the quality of a GNSS position. It takes account of the location of each satellite relative to the other satellites in the constellation, and their geometry in relation to the GNSS receiver. The smaller the PDOP, the higher the positioning accuracy: PDOP value of 4 or less gives excellent positions, a PDOP of between 4 and 8 is acceptable and a PDOP of 8.0 or more is poor. The maximum recommended PDOP value is 6. Also maps with the number of GNSS satellites.

Russian Glossary of Sea Ice Terminology (English Edition)
Any field of science, and ice science is no exception, has its own terminology, i.e., a set of terms, words and expressions, which continuously develops and becomes more perfect. The present glossary of sea ice terminology is a first attempt to systemize in one- volume terms related to ice and its properties, to the properties of ice sheets, to ice forecasting, and to the scientific and operational support of ice navigation. We have attempted to keep the English edition of this glossary as close to the Russian original as possible.

El establecimiento de los dispositivos de separación de tráfico ha reducido considerablemente el riesgo y el número de accidentes por colisiones y varadas en el tráfico marítimo. En España existen varios dispositivos de separación de tráfico: Finisterre, Estrecho de Gibraltar, Cabo de Gata, Canarias Oriental y Canarias Occidental. 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.

Facts about Charts and Carriage requirements
The SOLAS International Convention includes a requirement for all ships to carry to up-to-date nautical charts and publications for the intended voyage. Progressively, the chart carriage requirement for certain classes of vessels is to be satisfied by electronic means using an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS). This publication provide guidance on the regulations and the status of equipment that is available in the market today. In particular the differences between the various types of equipment and the differences between the various types of chart data offered to the users are unclear with respect to the regulations in place (IHO publication S-66, edition 2010). Contents: Overview of electronic charting and regulations, Compendium of Flag State ECDIS requirements, Training requirements, Technical details of electronic charts, Appendix: References and glossary, Revised performance standards for electronic chart display (ECDIS).

New routeing system in Kattegat
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has decided to establish a new routeing system in Kattegat and the northern part of The Sound from 1 July 2020. The intention is to reduce the large number of ships in the old Route T by establishing a new recommended route, Route S, along the Swedish coast from Læsø Island to The Sound.

SOUNDREP : Mandatory ship reporting system in the Sound
In a joint cooperation, Sweden and Denmark has established an IMO approved Mandatory Ship Reporting System in the Sound, named SOUNDREP, with the purpose of improving the safety of navigation and the protection of the marine environment in the Sound area. New shipping routes will be established in Danish and Swedish waters on the 1st of July 2020.

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.

Istjänsten på SMHI
Istjänsten på SMHI ansvarar för att tillhandahålla nulägesinformation om havsisen i svenska farvatten. På istjänsten jobbar både oceanografer och meteorologer som specialiserat sig på havsis (SMHI).

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).

Meteorology for Mariners
The aim of this book is to present the elementary theory of meteorology in a way that is suitable for Merchant Navy Officers and to explain its practical application to safe and economic ship operations. The contents of this book should satisfactorily cover the meteorological syllabuses for Department of Trade examinations for certificates of competency for Deck Officers in the Merchant Navy. It may also serve as a useful book of reference for those who have completed their courses of study and wish to maintain a good working knowledge of meteorology (1993).

The Marine Observer's Handbook
The Marine Observer's Handbook is written for three purposes: (1) To assist officers aboard United Kingdom vessels, who voluntarily make observations at sea on behalf of Meteorological Services, to carry out this work in an efficient and uniform manner. (2) To encourage all mariners to take an interest in recording observations of (a) meteorology, (b) marine phenomena and wild life, (c) optical phenomena, and (d) basic oceanography, and to assist them in their study of these important and interesting subjects. (3) To provide a book of reference for candidates for Certificates of Competency issued by MSA, the Marine Safety Agency of the Department of Transport (1995).

UK tide times
Tide times are available for around 500 locations in United Kingdom and are displayed beneath the weather forecast for up to five days ahead. In the UK we mostly experience a semi-diurnal tide which means we experience two high tides and two low tides each day. These occur approximately every 12 hours and 25 minutes.

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.).

Guidance on the proper display scale of Digital Nautical Chart
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).

Maritime Security Communications with Industry (MSCI) Web Portal
The U.S. Maritime Advisory System serves as the consolidated U.S. government system for communication with U.S. maritime industry stakeholders regarding potential or observed maritime security threats. The U.S. Maritime Alert has been developed to expeditiously provide basic information (location, incident type, and date/time) on reported maritime security threats to U.S. maritime industry interests. A U.S. Maritime Advisory may follow the issuance of a U.S. Maritime Alert and is intended to provide more detailed information, when appropriate. The U.S. Maritime Advisory System utilizes a “whole-of government” approach vice a single U.S. government agency approach. While U.S. Maritime Alerts and Advisories are transmitted by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and are posted on the MARAD-hosted MSCI Web Portal, they should not be referred to as originating from a single agency (MARAD).

MSIB: Worldwide Navigational Warnings Service
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.

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.

First paper chart to be supplanted by an electronic chart: chart 18665 of Lake Taho

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).

Example of custom chart: San Francisco Approaches - Scale 1:20000, unit in metres, two depth zone shades, A0 page size, generation date 21 April 2021

NOAA Chart Locator

Part I describes the current set of NOAA nautical chart products and their distribution. Part II describes some of the steps we are taking to improve those products, including changes to chart formats, scales, data compilation, and symbology. At the end of Part II, some thoughts are presented about the long-term future of NOAA navigational products.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nautical Charts, ENC and RNC
Each NOAA nautical chart contains a vast amount of information unique to the geographic area that it covers. While each chart is unique, it is assembled using standard conventions that are understood by the mariner. Sections of the FAQ: General, Nautical Charts, ENC, RNC and Hydrographic Data & Products.

Chart Carriage Requirements
Regulations and other documents related to nautical chart and publication carriage requirements for commercial vessels in U..S waters: Code of Federal Regulations - Federal Register Notices - USCG Circulars.

U.S. Chart No. 1: Symbols, Abbreviations and Terms used on Paper and ENC
U.S. Chart No. 1 describes the symbols, abbreviations, and terms used on nautical charts. It is produced by NOAA and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The symbols for paper charts and their analogous digital products, such as NOAA raster navigational charts (NOAA RNC®) are shown, as well as the symbols used to portray NOAA electronic navigational charts (NOAA ENC®) data on Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS).

Channel depths: USACE Hydrographic Surveys (eHydro)
With the new edition of NOAA raster charts, channel legends and tabulations, where indicated, reflect the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) project depths. The channel may be significantly shoaler, particularly at the edges. For detailed channel information and minimum depths as reported by USACE, use NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts. USACE surveys and channel condition reports are also available on the USACE Hydrographic Surveys (eHydro) application. The hydrographic surveys provided by this application are to be used for informational purposes only and should not be used as a navigational aid. Channel conditions can change rapidly and the surveys may or may not be accurate. NOAA publishes the official navigation charts to be used in US waters by mariners.

National Weather Service Glossary
This glossary contains information on more than 2000 terms, phrases and abbreviations used by the NOAA-NWS. Many of these terms and abbreviations are used by NWS forecasters to communicate between each other and have been in use for many years and before many NWS products were directly available to the public. It is the purpose of this glossary to aid the general public in better understanding NWS products. You can either type in the word you are looking for in the box or browse by letter.

Wind/Wave Analysis and Forecasts
These charts depict winds (knots) with winds barbs and significant wave heights (feet or meters). The combined sea heights are depicted in solid contours of three feet or one meter increments with relative maxima or minima combined sea state values enclosed inside a box under or adjacent to the area of interest. The ice edge is displayed as a bold jagged line (bright blue) during the winter months. On the offshore & adjacent waters analysis for the East coast of USA & Canada there is buoys and ships data: reported sea state from buoys and ships is in feet and is colored red (green for IR satellite maps), the period of predominant swell wave is in seconds and is colored purple (bright blue), the swell direction is shown by the black (white) arrows, and the reported wind speed and direction is shown by the blue (yellow) arrows. Significant wave height is defined as the average height of the highest 1/3 of wave heights observed (More information). The central value of significant wave heights imply that higher individual waves are possible.

Observers' Guide to Sea Ice
This booklet is intended for use by volunteers to report aerial, shipboard, or shoreline observations of ice conditions at sea to authorities such as the National Weather Service, National Ice Center, U.S. Coast Guard, pilots’ associations, port authorities, or other maritime interests. Emphasis here is on conditions of concern to mariners with regard to safe passage of ships.

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.

Tropical Cyclone Concerns for Marine Interests
I’m often asked the question “What do I do with my boat when there is a hurricane approaching?" I have gathered and consolidated information from numerous sources to help the boat owner in the analysis of his/her particular situation. Then the boat owner can determine the best method to prepare their boat for the eventual tropical cyclone encounter. The suggestions mentioned in this paper are intended to guide the mariner in developing an individual preparedness plan to help preserve life and protect their property.

Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability Product
The Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability Product by NOAA/NESDIS/OSPO provides an estimate of the probability of tropical cyclone formation within the next 24 to 48 hours in 1 by 1 degree latitude/longitude areas from 45S to 45N and 0 to 360E. For guidance purposes only.

Hurricane Preparedness: Marine Safety
Hurricanes have been the cause of many maritime disasters and unfortunately, there is no single rule of thumb that can be used by mariners to ensure safe separation from a hurricane at sea. Instead, constant monitoring of hurricane potential & continual risk analysis when used with some fundamental guidelines become the basic tools to minimize a hurricane's impact to vessels at sea or in port.

Experimental Graphicasts - Today's Marine Weather Story
The Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) is providing a graphical weather depiction that will highlight primary weather features of interest. A graphicast is produced for each basin. The graphicasts are intended to communicate to our users the most critical marine or other significant forecast issue(s) of the day (heavy precipitation/flooding, volcanic ash) in an effort to provide enhanced decision support services (DSS) to them. The image has planned updates once per day in the early afternoon.

48hr High Wind and Associated Seas
Between December 1 and May 14 (outside of hurricane season).
The high wind and associated seas graphic is produced by the National Hurricane Center to depict areas of high winds and related seas over the Atlantic and East Pacific waters between December 1 and May 14 (outside of hurricane season). 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.

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.

Ice: Vessel Icing - International Ice Patrol
Waves: When Do Ocean Waves Become 'Significant'? A Closer Look at Wave Forecasts - Expecting the Unexpected Wave: How the National Weather Service Marine Forecasts Compare to Observed Seas - Waves and the Mariner - Dynamic Fetch: Some Insight Into Rapid Increase in Sea Wave Heigh
Hurricanes: Hurricane Avoidance Using the "34-Knot Wind Radius" and "1-2-3" Rules - The Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale: An Interview with Dr. Robert Simpson - Severe Weather Port Evaluation Effort at the Naval Research Laboratory
...

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).

The electronic version of TCFRG consists of seven chapters and Tropical Cyclone Links and Web Sites. Chapter 1 presents a summary of who is doing what, and forecast accuracy, difficulty and variability. Chapter 2 is a short review of tropical large-scale climatology and synoptic models. Chapter 3 delineates the tropical cyclone formation problems and presents a tropical cyclone formation alert checklist used at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. 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. A basic objective is to provide materials that will assist users in developing a workable understanding and appreciation of the unique polar conditions including extreme cold, month long daylight and dark periods, and ice covered waters. Terminology and products specific to regional environmental factors will be addressed and used throughout the materials. Tables, graphs and glossaries addressing Arctic environmental conditions are provided as introductory and reference materials (HTML, 2014).

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.

Handbook on Distress Alert Messages
The purpose of this document is to provide Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) personnel and Search and Rescue Point of Contact (SPOC) personnel with an overview of the Cospas-Sarsat System and an understanding of the Cospas-Sarsat distress alert messagesand their contents. This will allow RCCs and SPOCs to manage the response to search and rescue (SAR) incidents involving Cospas-Sarsat distress alerts in an informed manner.

Handbook of Beacon Regulations
This document provides a summary of regulations issued by Cospas-Sarsat Participants regarding the carriage of 406 MHz beacons. This document is based mainly on information provided by Participants at Cospas-Sarsat meetings and in reports on System status and operations. Some information was provided by non-Cospas-Sarsat Participants. However, regulations are likely to evolve and the attached information should not be regarded as an official record of their current status.

Cospas-Sarsat Glossary: English, French & Russian
The purpose of this document is to provide an alphabetical list of specialized terms and acronyms relevant to the Cospas-Sarsat Programme, so that terms, definitions and abbreviations can be standardized in the three official languages of the Programme (English, French and Russian). Some of these terms are specific to the Cospas-Sarsat Programme, while other general ones are also included to complete the list of terms used in Cospas-Sarsat administrative, operational and technical documents.

Conception générale du système Cospas-Sarsat
Le concept de base du système Cospas-Sarsat pour la recherche et le sauvetage : Radiobalises de détresse (406 MHz), LEOSAR, GEOSAR, MEOSAR, Stations terriennes de réception (LUT), Centres de Contrôle de Mission (MCC).

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. Foire aux Questions (FAQ) sur les balises de détresse, l'enregistrement et le dépannage.

También trata del proceso de identificación, la visualización, los métodos de provisión y aplicación, las normas y guías aplicables a ellas, su disponibilidad e integridad, y las cuestiones jurídicas que les atañen. El origen del concepto de “ayuda virtual a la navegación” está en los Sistemas de Identificación Automática (AIS). Sin embargo, se prevé que en el futuro se desarrollarán otros medios de transmisión y presentación. Las referencias a los Sistemas de Identificación Automática (AIS) que figuran en este documento no deben interpretarse como la limitación de las ayudas virtuales a la navegación a sólo ese sistema (Guía de la IALA G1081).

VDES FAQ
Questions and answers about the VDES: What does VDES stand for?, VHF Data Exchange System (VDES), What is VDES?, What is the difference between VDES and AIS?, Why VDES?, What frequencies does VDES use?, What is the roadmap for VDES?, Are there any VDES test beds?, Where can I find more information on VDES?, Who are the users of VDES, How does an IALA member prepare for VDES?, What are the benefits of the satellite component of VDES?.

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)
This Guideline is intended to outline a general description on risk management methodology for marine Aids to Navigation (AtoN) including Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) through the analysis of all the hazards in a waterway so that all transit risks are effectively managed by AtoN authorities (IALA Guideline G1018).

Providing AtoN Services in Polar Regions (G1108)
In view of the recent opening of shipping routes and the increase in number of voyages in Polar Regions, it is clear there is a need to provide guidance on the special challenges of providing AtoN services in Polar Regions. This Guideline addresses these specific challenges and it is assumed that all other aspects of AtoN provision are dealt with in existing IALA documentation (IALA guideline 1108).

IALA World Wide Radio Navigation Plan
This IALA World Wide Radio Navigation Plan aims to build on individual National and Regional plans and identify the Radio Navigation components which will be key to the successful implementation of e-Navigation. One of the cornerstones of e-Navigation is the universal availability of robust position-fixing, navigation and timing services. This document focuses solely on the need to provide robust electronic position, navigation and timing (PNT) information, primarily via radio navigation systems. It presents the IALA position on current, developing and future PNT systems within the maritime environment (2012).

IALA Maritime Radio Communications Plan (MRCP)

This Maritime Radio Communications Plan (MRCP) has been developed by IALA to assist in the selection of radio communication systems required to support e-Navigation and GMDSS. The current status of radio communication in the maritime mobile bands is discussed and forms the basis of projections for future developments needed to support e-navigation, GMDSS and the development of Maritime Autonomous Systems (Surface). The core objective of the Maritime Radio Communications Plan (MRCP) is to state the IALA vision for the efficient use of Radio Spectrum in the Maritime Mobile Service. Edition 3 of the MRCP reflects the outcomes of developments in maritime radio communication spectrum. This document focuses on the need for an agreed infrastructure of communications between ships and ashore. It presents IALA’s view on current, developing and future Radio Communication Systems for the maritime sector.

World DGNSS Stations List
Table of DGNSS Stations (Differential Global Navigation Satellite System). IALA radiobeacon DGNSS is a means of providing differential GNSS (DGPS at present) corrections and integrity information to maritime users. Also 2015 version.

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).

Port Traffic Signals (R0111)
Principles of the system of port traffic signals. It is intended that the rules for Port Traffic Signals shall be followed to control traffic movements in ports and port approaches (IALA recommendation R0111/E111).

The intended readers for this document are navigators on coastal or international voyages; and organizations training navigators for these voyages (More information).

Information on ENC Generalization, Over-Scaling and Safety Checking Functions in ECDIS
To help mariners better assess the information presented on on-board navigation systems and understand what this can represent at sea, the IHO has released a new paper on Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) Generalization, Over-Scaling and Safety Checking Functions in Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). For centuries, marine cartographers have been using generalization techniques to transform our view of the world from a true three-dimensional reality to a scaled, two-dimensional abstract view. This new publication is designed to help users gain a better understanding of classification, simplification, exaggeration, symbolization and scale in charts, and how they should use this information while navigating. Created by the IHO ENC working Group (ENCWG), the paper was drafted following comments from mariners, and is designed to improve users’ ECDIS familiarisation.

More information.

Guidelines for ships operating in polar waters
Ships operating in the Arctic and Antarctic environments are exposed to a number of unique risks. Poor weather conditions and the relative lack of good charts, communication systems and other navigational aids pose challenges for mariners. When ice is present, it can impose additional loads on the hull, propulsion system and appendages. The Guidelines aim to promote the safety of navigation and to prevent pollution from ship operations in polar waters (Resolution A 26/Res.1024, 2010). Also on Artic Portal.

Guidelines For Ships Operating in Arctic Ice-Covered Waters
Ships operating in the Arctic environment are exposed to a number of unique risks. The Guidelines aim to promote the safety of navigation and to prevent pollution from ship operations in Arctic ice-covered waters. The Guidelines take into account that Arctic conditions may include sea and glacial ice that can represent a serious structural hazard to all ships. The Guidelines address the fact that the Arctic environment imposes additional demands on ship systems, including navigation, communications, life-saving, main and auxiliary machinery, etc. In addition, the Guidelines recognize that safe operation in such conditions requires specific attention to human factors including training and operational procedures (MSC/Circ.1056 MEPC/Circ.399, 2002).

Recueil international de règles applicables aux navires exploités dans les eaux polaires (Polar code)

Guide to recovery techniques
Your part in recovery at sea. As a seafarer, you may have to recover people in distress at sea. This might be someone overboard from your own ship or your ship might be responding to someone else's emergency. You may have little warning, and lives may be in your hands. In many areas of the world, especially when out of range of shore-based search and rescue (SAR) facilities, your ship may be the first, or the only, rescue unit to arrive in time. This guide focuses on recovery and the work you may have to do to achieve it. It is intended to be used as a reference document. You should read it now and you should refer to it again while proceeding to the scene of the emergency, as part of your preparation for the recovery operation. It suggests practical recovery techniques which have been used successfully to recover people in distress at sea (IMO, MSC.1/Circ.1182/Rev.1, 2014).

Threat to commercial shipping in the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the world’s busiest waterbodies. While the region offers safe transit to commercial traffic and entry to the Middle East and beyond via the Suez Canal, regional instability in areas such as Libya and Syria have the potential to spill over into the maritime domain and continues to pose a possible threat to commercial traffic. This Allied Maritime Command assessment provides an update on the threat posed to commercial shipping while transiting the Mediterranean in international waters. However, the risk to vessels when operating in territorial waters, i.e. close to the coast or within confined areas, is clearly elevated due to the opportunity it provides a would be attacker.

Electronic interference in Mediterranean
GPS interference and possible jamming with potentially dangerous consequences is reportedly occurring in the Eastern Mediterranean in vicinity of Cyprus and the entrance to the Suez Canal since the beginning of 2018.

Ice Logistics Portal - Ice charts (JCOMM)
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.

SIGRID-3: A Vector Archive Format For Sea Ice Georeferenced Information And Data (WMO/TD-No. 1214)
This document (JCOMM-TR-023) describes Version 3.0 of SIGRID-3 (Sea Ice GeoReferenced Information and Data), an evolution of the SIGRID series of standards for coding, exchange and archiving of digital ice charts. Version 3.0 retains the essential structure of its predecessor and is backwards compatible with earlier versions of SIGRID-3. The important extension of Version 3 is to incorporate the features, attributes and encoding of the Ice Objects Catalogue for Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs). The purpose of this extension is to facilitate the automatic translation of digital ice charts into S-57 and S-10x ENC formats.

Electronic Chart Systems Ice Objects Catalogue (JCOMM-TR-080)
Electronic Navigation Charts (ENC) and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) are becoming widely available on ships navigating in icy waters and it is necessary to provide ice data in a form that can be used in these systems. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) established an on-line “registry” of ENC chart features. This registry contains several thematic “registers”, one of which is for ice objects. The information in the register derives directly from the ENC Ice Objects Catalogue. The Catlogue describes the ice objects and attributes equivalent to codes of SIGRID-3 transport format for the ice charts and defines what ice information can be used in IHO S-57 and S-411 formats.

S411 ice charts for ECDIS (JCOMM)
The sea ice charts in S411 format are intended for the use in an ECDIS (or another GIS). The S-411 is fully based on the IHO S-100 framework specification, Geography Markup Language (GML), Encoding Standard and the ISO 19100 series of standards. It is a vector product specification that is primarily intended for encoding the extent and nature of Sea Ice for navigational purpose. Available actual ice charts are: Canadian East Coast - Canadian Eastern Arctic - Canadian Western Arctic - Hudson Bay - Great Lakes (From CIS). Alaska Waters (From US NWS). Greenland - NorthWest-Greenland - CentralWest-Greenland - CentralEast-Greenland - SouthEast-Greenland - Cape Farewell (From DMI). Northern North-Atlantic (From Met.no).

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.

- 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.

Space weather: Fast warning for important solar events
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.

La FNPMM est une fédération régie par la loi du 1° juillet 1901, regroupant les associations de pensionnés de la Marine Marchande (commerce et pêche). La fédération a pour buts de resserrer et de développer les liens de solidarité entre tous les pensionnés ainsi que de défendre les intérêts des pensionnés et de leurs ayants droit. L'information aux adhérents se fait principalement par Le Demi-Soldier, organe trimestriel d'information de la fédération qui paraît quatre fois pas an.

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.

Ice Logistics Portal

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.
