The nautical profession is unique, and one of its most important aspects is that sailors and ships travel on the open sea, where conditions are directly affected by the weather.

In the modern era, on the one hand, we travel with relatively new ships that have advanced technologically, but on the other hand, global climatic conditions have also changed as we face the phenomenon of climate change.

Today, more than ever, it is essential for Captains to have basic meteorological knowledge, as they are the ones who will make critical decisions about the routes their ships will take during long voyages, especially when crossing oceans.

This book aims to provide cadets of maritime academies with the opportunity to acquire the fundamental knowledge of maritime meteorology necessary to be prepared to make correct decisions when their turn comes.
