TAFB Radiofax Broadcast Schedule
Notice Regarding Scheduled Changes:
On November 3, 2008 several radiofax charts produced by the National Hurricane Center
which are broadcast from New Orleans, Pt. Reyes
and Honolulu will 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 are listed below and may be found at http://weather.noaa.gov/fax/marine.shtml
and will be broadcast on-air beginning on or about October 27, 2008. This change
is to better align workflow to model production. The previous radiofax schedule is also available.
The Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch
(TAFB) provides marine analyses and forecasts for the Gulf of Mexico,
Caribbean Sea, and the tropical and subtropical Atlantic and Pacific.
Products available include: surface analyzes, sea state analyses, wind/seas
forecasts, wave period/swell direction forecasts, tropical cyclone danger
area forecaasts (during the hurricane season), text High Seas Forecasts, and
GOES satellite imagery. These products are transmitted through the U.S.
Coast Guard Stations at New Orleans, Louisiana, and Pt. Reyes, California.
These and other National Hurricane Center marine products are also available from
the National Weather
Service Marine Fax page. Here is
more information on
receiving NWS marine products at sea.
NOTE 1: Products listed below are supplied by TAFB and can be found on the
TAFB Forecasts and Analysis page. All other
products are from the Ocean Prediction Center.
NOTE 2: Subtract 1.9 kHz for carrier frequencies. Please
send any reception reports and user comments to
marine.weather@noaa.gov
NOTE 3: These schedules are also available from the NWS Marine Radiofax Charts page. (Choose your location, then choose SCHEDULE)
