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 would like to reserve january

It's yours!
Good to have you back

Let's reserve February.

They stopped recording wet bulb temperature on the Onondaga late in 1943 and never recorded it in 1944. I wonder whether they resumed sometime in 1945.

There's seldom any record of why they do these things.

I just took a quick look. They don't seem to have.

It's not ours to reason why, but to transcribe until we die

Aaaaand... Let's reserve April!

How about March?

I marked March and April as Reserved. They're both yours.

It was marked as Reserved in "Transcription Status", but not a problem - I'll take both

That was probably just me entering Reserved into the wrong month.

Hi again! I would like to reserve May-June.

Welcome!!!!!

They are yours

I'll take July-August.

Great!!!
They are yours

It's time for September-October. I'll transcribe them.
