When you get to be my age you forget a lot of things. Maybe even before you get to be my age. One of the advantages to having a website/blog is that you can go back and look up things that you wrote about, but have forgotten. A while back I started writing posts about marine weather. The other day I decided to look at weather forecasts and I couldn’t remember some of the things I did before, so I went to the website and looked at my old posts.

I started writing weather posts over three years ago and ended up with eight posts. I can search for “weather” and find all the posts, but I can’t tell what’s in them by reading the title and first few sentences. So, I decided to write a new post which references each one and describes what’s in them. I also went back and updated them.

So here it is…

Weather, Part 1

Part 1 is simply an introduction. I tried to tell the reader what I was planning to write about and why I wanted to write about marine weather.

Weather, Part 2

Part 2 talks about marine weather resources that are available, without getting into details about the resource. These resources include:

• Marine Weather Faxes (Radiofaxes)
• Marine Weather Center (Chris Parker)

Weather, Part 3

Part 3 talks about analyzing marine weather maps, or Radiofaxes. It explains how to get barometric pressure, wind direction and wind speed from a Surface Analysis or Surface Forecast map.

When I first wrote this post, I explained how to calculate wind speed by measuring two distances with a digital micrometer and plugging them into a complicated formula. Looking back at the post, I thought it was very overwhelming. Since the time I wrote that post, I developed a calculator that does the complicated formula.  This calculator is available on my website. You still need to take two measurements, but the rest is easy – just enter three numbers.
