(Logs listed in fine print are for reference only)
On the weather page, please enter: date, locations, distances (nautical miles and tenths), courses, and all the weather data in the columns outlined in red in the spreadsheet.
It is not necessary to record State of the Sea.
However, ice mentioned in the weather grid should be transcribed using the magenta Sea column.
On the events page please enter: ice, location information, and sailing information.
Aurorae, volcanic, and seismic activity should be reported in the forum.
The names of US Navy and Coast Guard ships met should be noted. This gives the science team a chance to compare weather readings. You can include all ships mentioned in a single entry without a time or any additional data.
Other events are optional.
One person can do both weather and events (Stream 1), but the system also allows one person to do the weather page (Stream 1) and a second person to do the events page (Stream 3).
Unlike in OW3, where three transcriptions were required for each page, we are doing only one transcription per page.
Every transcriber needs to enter the date.
The date is used to organize the pages.
See
Haida — General for some general background and discussion.
See
Haida — Examples for a quick introduction to transcribing or a refresher.
See
Transcribing Guide to learn how to transcribe the data.

Several days into April now and every day many of the dry and wet bulb temperatures are reversed. It's always for a shift at a time. You can see the difference in handwriting at shift changes and corresponding reversed entries. You would think that eventually someone on a later shift would notice the reversed entries earlier in the log and say something. But so far it's continuing.

ATTENTION NEW TRANSCRIBERS:
In cases like this, where the data is clearly in the wrong column, it can be transcribed into the correct column.
The occasional case of dry bulb temperature lower than wet bulb temperature should be transcribed as is.

Oops!
Maybe that doesn't apply to me since I'm not a "NEW" transcriber?

The location at 7:35AM is west of Seal Rocks. I cannot find any Seal Rocks near the given coordinates. My guess is that it is near Cape Sitkinak.
Also at 7:35AM the Haida received a request to investigate the criminal crew at Sanak Island. Nothing further on that yet...

Sometimes these guys give their own names to things unnamed.

I saw that first article, but it didn't occur to me that it conflicted with Haida's log.

Based on the log for May 3, it appears the officers must have had some night out on the town the night before. Wind direction and force were combined and entered in the course column, pressure in the wind direction column, dry bulb temperature in the wind force column, and dry bulb temperature in the pressure column, with one entry where dry and wet bulb temperatures appear to be reversed. I'm fairly sure they are reversed because every log page in April had one, two, or more shifts with the temperatures reversed. Proofreading was difficult after transcribing to the correct columns.
