OCEAN WEATHER STATIONS  

DEFINITION

  • Ocean Weather Stations are ocean based facilities or locations where meteorological data are gathered, recorded, and released. Such stations are of the first order when they make observations of all the important elements either hourly or by self-registering instruments; of the second order when only important observations are taken; of the third order when simpler work is done, as to record rainfall and maximum and minimum temperatures.
