Abstract

Recently, we can obtain easily the meteorological satellite images by using the internet on the shipboard. However, most of navigational officers have not knowledge and use experience about the satellite images. Actually, the meteorological satellite images indicate some weather conditions cannot be predicted in a weather chart or the latest forecast before the departure on a voyage. Then a purpose of this study is to propose a guideline for use of meteorological satellite images for the navigational officers. In this study, from the meteorological satellite images, we were able to classify some characteristics of the cloud condition when the phenomenon such as the freak waves or the gusts that might cause the obstacle to the safety navigation occurs. Thus we arranged the result in this paper, and proposed a guideline when a navigation officer uses a meteorological satellite image.
