Subject: Soliciting Comments through October 16, 2024 on a Proposal to Replace the Imperial Unit “Feet” with the Metric Unit “Meter” in National Marine Center High Seas Text and Graphical ProductsDear Blue Water Mariners,
The National Weather Service is soliciting comments on a proposal to change wave height analyses and forecasts from “feet” to “meters” for the High Seas text forecasts and the marine graphics (radiofax and internet). Note that this proposed change is ONLY for the High Seas products, NOT the Coastal Waters (within 60 nautical miles of the coast) or the Offshore Zone Waters.
Here’s the Public Information Statement. Here’s where you can provide comments, or you can simply email me back your feedback.
Sincerely,
Chris
