• Abstract:
  This guide will hopefully aid the Mariner in understanding the complex structure and behavior of ; tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean. Once armed with this knowledge, and the information ; on where to acquire forecasts and guidance for current tropical cyclones, the mariner can be prepared to “weather the storm” or better yet, avoid these catastrophic events altogether. ; Finally, this guide will discuss some ship routing and hurricane avoidance options with the intention ; of highlighting critical thought processes, risk analyses and required actions that should be considered in order to remain safe and secure during the threat of a tropical cyclone at sea or in port.
