Description:This paper describes a program whfch -gathers all of the available observations on the Great Lakes and presents them 1n two, unified formats. The first format 1s a broadcast text which 1s read over the Great Lakes VHF radio system every six hours during the shipping season. This text contains wind and wave reports as well as weather and visibility when the visibility 1s less than four miles. Figure 1 1s an example of this broadcast text. The second format 1s that of a standard AFOS plot file, complete with sea level pressure* temperature, dew point* water temperature and wave height* when available. Figure 2 1s a sample plot file. National Weather Service (NWS) offices can produce customized graphic displays and analyses from this file using the PMOD system of programs and various mesoscale analysis routines. Figure 3 shows a sample graphic product for Lake Erie* and Figure 4 1s a key to Interpret the station models plotted.
