Abstract

mong many issues which affect the marine-related daily activities, the weather conditions are considered one of the most important. In this study, all the tools and the methods were used to develop a modern weather application which is able to support the quality of vessel services in the sea safety and rescue operations, is presented. The weather application can operate using as basic data source continuous measurements from a mobile meteorological station on a pilot vessel. The meteorological station records automatically all the measurements of its sensors while appropriate modules in the internal structure of the system analyze the initial information and provide final outputs. In the framework of the LINCOLN Project where new concepts of added-value specialized vessels and relative automated services, are developed and promoted, this application is intended to provide accurate and on-site information about weather conditions.
