NOAA/NWS mission/responsibility• Protection of life and property, safety at sea, and
enhancement of economic opportunity
• Fulfill U.S. responsibilities with the World Meteorological Organization and Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS)– Text warning bulletins, graphic analyses and forecast products (Global
Maritime Distress Safety System)
– Traditional focus wind and waves
– Expanding to operational oceanographic products
– Increasing role in Arctic
• Forecast support– Incident response, government operations
• Science based organization

•Know where to receive latest information, continue to monitor!!!http://www.weather.gov/om/marine/home.htmhttp://www.nhc.noaa.gov
•We continue to get better at forecasting track and formation!http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/verification/figs/OFCL_ATL_trk_error_trend.gif
•Intensity still a big problem!!!http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/verification/figs/OFCL_ATL_int_error_trend.gif
•Have seen more cyclones later in season…well into October November and December
•Know the climatology…formation areas and favored trackshttp://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastprofile.shtml
•Hurricanes are just as dangerous in the northern latitudes•They move faster and are more efficient wave producers

Thoughts• Be observant – relate what is happening at your
location (shore or at sea) to graphical analyses and forecasts– Clouds, wind speed / direction, barometer, radar
• Apply your knowledge of analyses to forecasts
• Mid-latitudes – 500 mb progression – “The Weather Pattern”
• Read – NWS discussion (local or from OPC, NHC) (WHY!)
– NWS Synopses (Coastal Waters and Offshore) (Expectation)
