Trainer Today's weather
technology provides mariners with sophisticated
resources--facsimile, satellite connection, and
Internet resources. Starpath's Weather Trainer
shows you how to get the most out of NAVTEX,
radiofacsimile weather maps, real-time satellite
photos, and much more. While new
technology makes boating safer and more fun,
nothing can replace traditional weather
forecasting skills. Starpath's Weather
Trainer offers dynamic, hands-on education on
methods to identify and analyze signls of wind,
sea, and sky. You'll learn to use a
barometer to its full potential, recognize
clouds and their meanings, interpret changes in
wind and sea conditions, and how to combine
observations into a realistic picture of present
and future weather. |
