Learn a little meteorology and reduce some of the uncertainty of boating on the Great Lakes. An enhanced understanding of basic weather principles and a few simple forecasting skills can allow you to:
It is impossible to predict the weather with total precision, but that doesn’t mean that the weather must be entirely unpredictable. The Great Lakes Basic Marine Weather Seminar is a one-day seminar designed to provide Great Lakes boaters with an understanding of basic marine meteorology. Over the course of the day, attendees will learn about the forces controlling the wind, the formation and movement of low pressure systems, wave forecasting, and how to identify the conditions favoring the development of severe weather. Attendees will develop a basic forecasting resource kit based upon publicly available government and university websites. Download a brochure or a flyer describing the seminar.
