APPENDIX B Summary of Weather Broadcast Sources Marine weather

APPENDIX B Summary of Weather Broadcast Sources Marine weather broadcasting stations, types of broadcasts and call signs are summarized in this appendix. The information was extracted from the joint NOAA/NOC publication, "Worldwide Marine Weather Broadcasts", which is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office. This publication lists contents, schedules, and frequencies of the various broadcasts and contains descriptions of forecast areas, code forms and English/ French/Span ish translations of common terminology. If a broadcast type is listed for a station, an entry is made in that column. (Absence of arn entry indicates that the broadcast type is not listed for that station.) If known, the call sign applicable to each type consists of the entry. If the call sign is not known, the entry is "(UNK)"I. Some stations have more than one call sign listed. This is indicated by placing an 11X11 in the third character position (in parentheses) of the call sign, then listing each call sign in Remarks.
