There are
new map plots in this section that depect the wave, wind and sea surface
temperature(sst) for ships and buoys which transmit synoptic weather
observations. They are titled SHIP/BUOY WIND & WAVE maps for the
oceanic areas. WAVE HEIGHT (feet) is plotted in YELLOW (bright-yellow)
and its |
PERIOD (seconds) is in GREEN (bright-green).
The WIND SPEED is a numeric value in knots that is plotted in BLUE(sky-blue)
with a constant length WIND VECTOR plotted from the station's eported
location. The station's IDENTIFICATION (e.g., 51001 for NW Hawaii
buoy; JKTP for a ship) and the SST are plotted in PURPLE (dull purple).
