NWS radiofax charts for the North Pacific and Tropical East Pacific


The latest version of marine weather charts for broadcast by the U.S. Coast Guard are available from the National Weather Service Telecommunication Gateway on this server. The listed charts are in the G4 (T4) format and enveloped in TIFF for viewing, also available in GIF format. Satellite images are in JPEG format.

Reports from mariners of both poor AND good radio reception , as well as any other comments about weather broadcast services and forecast products are always greatly appreciated. Please be specific as possible noting your location, equipment/software used, date(s), time(s), frequency(s), mode (fax, voice, NAVTEX, etc.), signal strength, and problem observed (e.g. interference, noise, sync loss, echoes, etc), product name ( e.g. high seas text forecast for METAREA IV, if internet state link, etc. ). Send your comments to: Questions, Comments?.

USCG to continue HF weather broadcasts via radiofax, voice, and SITOR

On Nov 03, 08 it is proposed that several radiofax charts produced by the Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center and broadcast from New Orleans, Pt. Reyes and Honolulu be based on information from different model run times. A 36 hour wind/wave chart will be added to the New Orleans broadcast. The new broadcast schedules may be found at http://weather.noaa.gov/fax/marine.shtml and will be broadcast on-air beginning on or about Oct 27, 08. This change is proposed to better align workflow to model production. Please send comments to Christopher.A.Burr@noaa.gov by Oct 03, 08

SIZE and UPDATED... refer to .TIF version of files

Many of these charts are also broadcast from Kodiak, Alaska and Honolulu, Hawaii
