This website is prepared keeping in view the fundamental aspects of Marine Meteorology, considering the increased concern among the maritime community about a variety of environmental issues. The Website will meet the critical needs of Port Meteorological Offices as well as the observers on board the ships

The website is merely a collection of information available on Internet and is compiled from various websites, freely available. This collection is for private circulation for Port Meteorological Offices, Ship observers and it is not intended to violate copyrights of anybody what so ever.

For viewing the contents of this Website, your computer must have Acrobat Reader 5.0. The setup file of this software is also provided. Acrobat Reader can be easily installed on your computer.

There are various Forms which will be useful for Port Meteorological Offices while recruiting the ships and also for the observers on board the ships. Port Meteorological Offices can print these forms.

Two Lecture Notes are included in Lecture Notes section which will be useful to Port Meteorological Offices as well as the observers on board the ships

Two Presentations are included in Presentations section which will be useful to Port Meteorological Offices as well as the observers on board the ships

weather Codebook prepared by India Meteorological Department namely Ship Weather Code 2004 is available here for ship observers. General information about codes. weather parameters and international Marine Meteorological Tape (IMMT) formats are also available here. You can end the frustration of coding Weather Data

You can use Code card. It is useful for Ship observers for coding meteorological parameters rapidly and easily and will be useful for them as a ready reckoner.

You can end the frustration of coding Weather Data, by using software program called Turbowin in few easy steps and transmit Weather Observations through Land Earth Stations. So what you have to do is to open the program and start recording Weather Observations and pass it through SAT terminal or through Internet. You can use True Wind Calculator for calculating Instantaneous True Wind. You can use cloud classification software called Meteoclassify Software and become expert in cloud classification.

Various WMO Brochures are included, for better understanding of the subject for Port Meteorological Offices as well as the observers on board the ships.

If your computer is connected to Internet, then you can get latest Weather Forecasts , Sea Area Bulletins, GMDSS Bulletin for the area of Indian Ocean, North of Equator and also latest satellite Infrared, Color composite pictures. Just click the links and open it in new window.
