Interpreting Weather At Sea 

Sailors and motorboaters alike are always concerned about the coming weather. Quite subtle changes in the visibility or the wind strength or direction can make a big difference at sea, so - for safety’s sake, as well as to make the most of precious time afloat - we need to know what to expect.

This programme explains just how the weather works, so you can interpret official forecasts more accurately, and read between the lines to turn a large area forecast into a local one.

Contents include: Energy transfer - Gas law - Adiabatic process - Condensation - Coriolis - Sea breezes - Global winds - Air masses - Fronts - Depressions - Clouds - Precipitation - Clouds and rain around depressions - Highs - Fog - Weather maps - Convergence and divergence

For computer buffs and customers outside the PAL television area we can supply the CD ROM version which contains the complete course as detailed above. However bear in mind that to play full moving pictures on a computer demands massive resources from it. As a minimum you will need a multimedia computer with Pentium II or MMX 233Mhz processor and at least 32 MB of RAM. 

The CD ROM presents the complete video running for 55 minutes with the added benefit of interactivity and other information.

This CD ROM is a stand alone programme it will NOT record any information onto your hard disc.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A DVD.
