PREFACE
Commander
C.
R. Burgess, former Meteorological Officer in the UK Meteorological Office,
Bracknell and in the Royal Navy, completed Meteorology For Seamen in 1950 soon after he joined the
Marine Society as Secretary. His book has been a standard work for 30 years, combining the factual
presentation of the subject with the then popular question and answer format. A further revision became
necessary soon after his death in 1982, and the present authors with some trepidation accepted the task.
So many advances have been made in this science and the presentation of text books so changed, that
it was decided to present a completely rewritten and revised text with new illustrations. The question
and answer format has been abandoned as it is out of place in a book which aims to present the
fundamentals of the subject and highlight those aspects of particular interest to all seafarers.
It
does not
aim to provide a simple explanation, as this is regularly and professionally done by the radio, television
and the more elementary textbooks, nor does it delve into the highly complex explanations provided by
research papers. The interaction of the seas and the atmosphere is considered, but no attempt has been
made to treat this important subject fully, since there are many excellent works to which the seafarer
should refer to improve his understanding.
Meteorology for Seafarers is therefore a technical book which aims to explain the complexities of the
atmosphere and provide the information needed for professional seafarers aspiring to first class
certificates of competency.
If
at the same time it encourages the seafaring reader to investigate and
understand more clearly the forces of nature which affect his daily life, then it will have achieved the full
ambitions of its authors.
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
The opportunity has been taken in this Second Edition to update where necessary the text and
illustrations. In particular Greenwich Mean Time has been replaced by Universal Time Zone, and
Forecast areas and forecasts (Figs 11.1-11.4 and Table 11.4) have been modified.
