Previsão meteorológica na navegação de Longo Curso

Abstract

The navigation of long course is veryimportant for the world maritime trade. This is greatly affected by the environment as well as affects him, various atmospheric phenomena occur in very different ways in each point of the planet that requires the officer to have a knowledge of each one ofthese interactions with nature and its form in place where there is. With this it is necessary to man of the sea know meteorologyto prevent the weather and know how to interpret what is happening with the weatherat the point where it is, and whatcan happen in future. To elucidate such knowledge this study shows importance of weatherforecast in navigation of long course. Here you will see the main atmospheric phenomena as the front systems that affect the winds and precipitation, such as arise and theirmain differences. See also tropical cyclones since its cyclogenesisuntilits effects and classifications, as well as the extratropical cyclones and the icebergs and their dangers to navigation. After we will be seeing the main data collection instrumentsand weather forecast as the barometer, the synoptic charts, bulletins and more new feature satellites. Finally, we will see a brief study of accidents at sea caused by effects of meteorological phenomena such as incidents due to bad weather and tropical cyclones/hurricanes, investigatingwhether or not there have been errors in reading the weather and if there were deaths and pollution of the environment. In all the work,the methodology was the search with several authors in theareaas well as reports ofthe coastguard and components of meteorology asa whole as well as of national bodies the INPE, CPTEC and DHN. With theobjective to know the consequences of human decisions before the weather forecast in more different points of the Earth.. Therefore, the seafarer must know that meteorology came for helping him to arrive in safety to the destination and he have to use in the right way.
