interesting...taking the USCG Aux weather course. here at the shore
this weekend...

have Aux patrol on Monday so will be motoring around long beach
island/manahawkin bay. anyone around, look for us!


What does the course cover, how to read clouds, etc? Seriously.


covers the physical mechanisms of weather...coriollis forces, physics
of condensation, convection, radiation, conduction. how weather fronts
form...weather patterns, jet stream effects. good stuff
