Lee Chesneau's 2011 Weather Seminar will be held at Strictly Sail Miami

Two Day Marine Meteorology Weather Course (Level 1) by Lee Chesneau

Lee Chesneau, Senior Marine Meteorologist, formerly with NOAA/NWS's Ocean Prediction Center, and now owner of Lee Chesneau's Marine Weather, will provide a challenging follow up to his hour seminars with a two day course (see below) for a mariner's self reliance in understanding High Frequency (HF)-Single Side Band (SSB) Radio-facsimile weather charts (also available on the Internet) and predicting marine weather.

His 38 years of forecasting marine weather and strategic route planning on a global, synoptic, and local scale for mariners has now been successfully transferred to the classroom where he takes you step by step toward understanding both the ocean and atmospheric environment in which you boat. As a former mariner, Lee knows that this is necessary and important not only for determining your own weather forecasts, but for making strategic decisions whether operating with the coastal waters, offshore, or in trans-ocean crossings.

Two Day Course Includes:

  1. Concepts of atmospheric behavior and its cause & effects of marine weather.
  2. Basics of cloud formations and related visibility concerns.
  3. Basics of surface weather and patterns.
  4. Interpretation of OPC and TPC surface pressure charts.
  5. OPC wind & wave chart interpretation.
  6. Introduction to Tropical Cyclone basics & avoidance.
  7. Workbook of application exercises & note taking guide of the material presented.
