The Observation

• Every 6 hours
• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Air pressure
• Air temperature
• Humidity
• SST
• Sea state
• Visibility
• Past weather
• Present weather
• Cloud coverage
• Cloud layers

4
The Observation

• Voluntary observers
• Nautical officers
• Mutual need for good observations
• TurboWin helps with coding observation

5
TurboWin

• Interface close to the nautical world
• No need for the observer to know the codes
• Observations are immediately checked
• Internal consistency
• Climatology
• Correctly coded observation is automatically
  assembled and ready for transmission
• Transmission for operational use via Inmarsat
• Storage on board computer incl. meta data for
  climatological use

6
The VOS programme

• Per country several ships
• Recruited and inspected by the PMO
• Internationally organized (JCOMM, E-Surfmar)
