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.

Randi has suggested I take a stab at the McCulloch, 1915 and 1916. I will Gove it a shot. Please reserve those months/years for me.
--Greg

Can you please change the "Available" to "Reserved" for 1915 and 1916 on this McCulloch status page?

I’ll have to ask Randi to do that. I won’t be home until Wednesday.

Done!

I've Finished McCulloch 1915. Moving on to McColluck 1916.

Well done!

See my post in the 1916 thread.
