        • La altura significativa se infiere en el modelo a partir de la energía total de las olas. Se asemeja a la altura característica que un observador experimentado estima visualmente en un campo de olas y es la medida representativa del campo más utilizada. Sin embargo, se debe destacar que las olas individuales pueden exceder la altura significativa (idealmente algo más del 13 % de las olas) y aun en condiciones normales, alguna ola individual podría duplicar esta altura. La dirección del pico es la dirección media en las frecuencias que contienen la máxima energía y es cercana, en general, a la dirección del máximo. El período del pico de energía o período dominante es el correspondiente a las frecuencias que contienen la máxima energía. Todas las alturas se expresan en metros.

      • Mariner's Handbook for Australian Waters (AHP20)

• • • • • The Mariner’s Handbook for Australian Waters (AHP20) is an official nautical publication providing mariners with important regulatory, procedural and environmental information affecting the planning and conduct of a voyage to or from Australian ports, or within Australian waters. It includes a summary of all relevant information from various Australian government agencies under the cover of one combined reference, with links to further information if required. The Mariner’s Handbook for Australian Waters is updated via fortnightly Australian Notices to Mariners. The publication includes: Major Australian maritime legislation and regulations, and responsible agencies, Marine Protected Areas, regulations and responsible agencies, Coastal Pilotage arrangements, Torres Strait and Great Barrier Reef shipping routes, accident and incident reporting, Maritime Safety Information, meteorological broadcasts, Warnings, search and rescue, Ship Reporting Systems - AUSREP and REEFVTS...

• • • • Australian Chart and Publication Maintenance Handbook (AHP24)

• • • • • The Australian Chart and Publication Maintenance Handbook providesinformation to assist mariners to keep paper and electronic nautical charts and publications up to date, as well as to keep appropriate maintenance records. By using this book, mariners should be able to meet their obligations under both national and international maritime legislation and the more specific inspection requirements imposed by safety and regulatory authorities.

• • • • Mariner's Guide to Accuracy of Depth Information in ENC

• • • • • Information regarding the accuracy of depth information in Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC), and how mariners should interpret that information, forms a chapter of the Mariner’s Handbook for Australian Waters. However, this information is also likely to be useful to mariners and maritime training organisations that do not require the accompanying regulatory and procedural information contained in other chapters. Chapter 13 of the Mariner’s Handbook for Australian Waters has therefore been published as a separate digital supplement. It addresses a number of misconceptions amongst mariners regarding the accuracy of bathymetry within ENC, and the impact that accuracy should have upon route planning and conduct. The information contained in the supplement is equally applicable to any vessel using ENC. In particular, as it describes the Zones Of Confidence (ZOC) system used by all nations in their ENC, it may be useful to mariners navigating beyond Australian waters.

• • • • Accuracy and reliability of Paper Nautical Charts

• • • • • How accurate are nautical charts? How much faith can be placed in them? Unfortunately, the answer is quite complex – far more complex than simply saying one chart is accurate whilst another is not. However, having the necessary skills should be essential for any mariner venturing into unfamiliar waters. All charts, whether paper or electronic, contain data which varies in quality due to the age and accuracy of individual surveys. In general, remote areas away from shipping routes tend to be less well surveyed, and less frequently, while areas of high commercial traffic are re-surveyed frequently to very high levels of accuracy, particularly where under-keel clearances are small. It is quite accurate to consider a chart as a jigsaw of individual surveys pieced together to form a single image.

• • • • Facts about Electronic Charts and Carriage Requirements

• • • • • Written in an easy to read “question and answer” style, this publication answers over twenty of the most commonly asked questions about electronic charts (ENCs and RNCs) and their use in ECDIS and ECS. Its main emphasis is on what types of chart data and types of equipment can be used to satisfy the International Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) carriage requirements for charts (IHO, S-66, 2018).

• • • • Understanding Paper Nautical Chart Symbology

• • • • • At first glance, a chart looks simple to interpret. However, what exactly do all those different symbols mean? Before your next day on the water, have a look at the symbols taken from a few Australian Paper Nautical Charts.

        • The transit time of a celestial body refers to the instant that its center crosses an imaginary line in the sky - the observer's meridian. It's represents the time at which the body is highest in the sky on any given day: the transit of the Sun is local solar (sundial) noon. At the twilight time in the absence of moonlight, artificial lighting or adverse atmospheric conditions, the illumination is such that large objects may be seen but no detail is discernible. The brightest stars and planets can be seen and for navigation purposes at sea, the sea horizon is clearly defined (Geoscience Australia).

          • Sea (or wind) waves are generated by the local prevailing wind and vary in size according to the length of time a particular wind has been blowing, the fetch (distance the wind has blown over the sea) and the water depth.

          • Swell waves are the regular longer period waves generated by distant weather systems. There may be several sets of swell waves travelling in different directions, causing a confused sea state.

          • Combined sea and swell describes the combined height of the sea and the swell that mariners experience on open waters. The height of the Combined sea and swell refers to the average wave height of the highest one third of the waves. Combined sea and swell is also known as total wave height, or significant wave height. Some waves will be higher and some lower than the significant wave height. The probable maximum wave height can be up to twice the significant wave height.

• • • • Communication Services: weather information at sea

      • The International Antarctic Weather Forecasting Handbook

        • This volume presents a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of weather forecasting in the Antarctic. It is designed to be of practical use to forecasters on the Antarctic stations and on research/supply vessels, but will also be of value to those concerned with research into Antarctic meteorology and climatology. It splits broadly into two parts. In the first, the climatology of the Antarctic is reviewed and there are discussions on the nature of the weather systems found over the continent and Southern Ocean. The means used to forecast all the main meteorological elements are discussed as well as the use of satellite data and the output of numerical weather prediction models. In the second part, the meteorological conditions found at various locations around the Antarctic are considered and guidance provided on the forecasting rules and techniques used at specific locations (British Antarctic Survey).

      • Space Weather Services (SWS)

        • • Space Weather Hazard

• • • • • • • Space Weather broadly describes the impact of solar activity on technological systems and human well-being here on earth. Dynamic variations on the surface of the sun can release large amounts of energy in various forms including electromagnetic radiation, charged particles and eruptions of huge clouds of ionised gas. These phenomena can significantly affect the earth’s upper atmosphere (ionosphere) and surrounding space environment with impacts felt all the way down to technological systems on the ground. Space weather events that modify the density and/or structure of the ionosphere can significantly impact the performance of HF communications, satellite communication and global navigation satellite systems (e.g. GPS).

• • • • • • Fact sheet on the potential impacts of space weather

• • • • • • • This information sheet is designed to assist owners and operators of critical infrastructure better understand the effects of space weather events. These may include disruptions to telecommunication and radio communications systems, satellite navigation systems, energy supply and power grids. Space weather could also lead to damage or loss of critical infrastructure.

While Canadian fish harvesters are encouraged to achieve safety through preventative actions, there are times when additional measures are necessary. When an accident occurs, the Search and Rescue (SAR) system quickly becomes the primary safety net. When dealing with emergencies, fish harvesters should understand three important components of the SAR system: alerting, detection and response.

    • Prévisions et avertissements maritimes pour le Canada

      • Carte avec les avis, veilles et avertissements. Le programme de veilles et d’avertissements maritimes fournit des avis aux navigateurs pour les informer des conditions météorologiques maritimes qui peuvent présenter des risques pour leur sécurité ou leurs activités. Les avis (gris) sont émis pour les phénomènes météorologiques spécifiques qui sont plutôt sévères et pourraient avoir un impact significatif sur les Canadiens. Les veilles (jaune) annoncent des conditions météorologiques propices à une tempête ou à du temps violent pouvant compromettre la sécurité de la population. Lorsqu'on connaît avec certitude la trajectoire et la puissance d'un système de tempête, une veille peut se transformer en avertissement (rouge), qui est un message urgent indiquant la présence de temps violent ou son imminence.
