Old Weather Forum

---

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.

I will do this one.

It's all yours!

Thanks Michael.
I do not blame you for passing it on to me, it was 13f today and the entire vessel was sheeted in ice.

Finished.

Bravo! I'll get to it eventually. First I have to finish Haida 1940, which is almost done. Then update some spreadsheets, make a new spreadsheet for Ashuelot. Then I will get to work on Chelan 1929, Burton Island 1947, Burton Island 1952 and finally Chelan 1930... Don't hold your breath...

Quit complaining and get to work!
