Weather analysis and forecasting for mariners

Vremenska analiza i prognoza temelji se uglavnom na sinoptičkoj metodi, koja analizira atmosfersko kruženje, zračne mase i atmosferske fronte te ciklone, anticiklone i gibanja zraka i oluje. Pomorska meteorologija vrlo je značajan faktor za plovidbu kako u domaćim, tako i u međunarodnim vodama, a redovito prati i izvješćuje pomorce o stanju na moru. Uragani kao najveće vremenske nepogode koje mogu pogoditi pomorce vrlo su opasni za plovidbu, a iako ih nema u Jadranskom moru, svaki pomorac treba znati postupati u tom slučaju. Za Jadran su karakteristični puno blaži oblici nevremena, poput olujnog vjetra, visokih valova, pijavica, nevera, magle i sumaglice, koji ometaju siguran tijek plovidbe, ali su znatno manje opasni od samih uragana.Weather analysis and forecasting is based mainly on a synoptic method that analyzes atmospheric circulation, air mass and atmospheric front, cyclones, anticyclones and air motion and storms. Maritime meteorology is a very important factor for navigation both in domestic and international waters, and regularly monitors and reports seafarers on sea conditions. Hurricanes as the biggest weather catastrophes that can hit seafarers are very dangerous for sailing and although they are not in the Adriatic Sea, every sailor should know how to handle it in that case. The Adriatic is characterized by a lot of milder forms of stormy weather, such as stormy wind, high waves, whirlwind, thunderstorm, fog and haze, which hinder the safe course of navigation, but are far less dangerous than the hurricanes themselves
