Weather Info

DATE: May 26, 2006

After consulting many satellite images and reviewing our weather routing software we have composed the following forecast. Due to an anticyclonic edge which is to the South of us, broken to scattered cloud cover can be expected for the next few days. It will either be partly sunny or partly cloudy as we continue on to Valparaiso, Chile.  This may be good news to all you celestimators onboard. For those of you who may be prone to seasickness we probably have good news for you too. We should expect light seas of about 4 to 8 feet and a gentle swell from the SSW, in which we will continue rolling gently. Brief matinal precipitation may occur from time to time. Our best word of advice as meteorologists is to look out the window. Cadet Meteorologists Haight and Jebanathan


Observing the wind's effect on the state of the sea is nearly impossible at night, so direct measurement must be obtained from the ship's anemometer. Cadets Haight and Jebanathan take readings from the anemometer which must be worked out on paper in a vector triangle to find true wind.
