Weather reports
Marine zone
Sirius™ service includes access to weather reports
for all U.S. Marine Zones, with the exception of the
high seas zones..
You can setup the system to read the forecast for a
selected area.
Tap the selected zone, and use the menu to
confirm your selection.
Tropical statements
You can read tropical statements including information about tropical weather conditions.
These statements are available for the entire Atlantic and the Eastern Pacific.
Animating Sirius™ weather graphics
The NSO-II records the weather information you have turned on, and this information
can be used to animate past or future weather conditions. The amount of information
available in the system depends on the amount of weather activity; the more complex it
is, the less time will be available for animation.
You can animate the past or the future, depending on which weather view you have
turned on:
• if the precipitation overlay was turned on, you can animate for the past and only assume
weather conditions in the immediate future.
• if the colored wave height overlay was turned on, you can animate the future (the
predictions).
When activated, the time for the current graphic animation will be displayed in the lower
left corner of the chart panel.
Weather alarms
You can setup the lightning or storm
alarms to be within a certain range of
your vessel.
You can also get an alarm as a severe
weather forecast alarm issued for your
chosen marine zone.
A watchbox is defined by the National
Weather Service. When the alarm is
turned on you will get an alarm when
your vessel is inside or is entering into a
watchbox.
