A influência da previsão meteorológica na navegação em geral

Abstract

By studying meteorology, one learns a lot about the terrestrial dynamics and passes to better understand what happens around us every day. The weather forecast aims to avoid accidents by marine fortunoreasons. Many occurred in man's quest for survival and expansion of territories to have been cast into the sea, or in search of spices at the time of the Great Navigations. This work aims to show how important is the knowledge of meteorology for the safety of the work of seafarers. Because the maritime operations are sensitive to environmental conditions, information involving the appropriate measures to be taken in order to ensure the safety of the vessel and the crew and the tools available to the maritime informing weather forecasts can be found in this work. Also, a lot of information about the Earth's dynamics focusing on the phenomena that most affect the Oceans hence influencing in all types of navigation to ensure understanding of them and how to face them from that. It will also be highlighted in this work the key role of navigator on to interpret correctly the weather information transmitted. It will, finally, emphasized that it is possible to interpret the time analyzing phenomena around us, like wind and waves, undertows and studying the dynamics of the planet.
