Abstract:This guide will hopefully aid the Mariner in understanding the complex structure and behavior of
tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean. Once armed with this knowledge, and the information
on where to acquire forecasts and guidance for current tropical cyclones, the mariner can be prepared to “weather the storm” or better yet, avoid these catastrophic events altogether.
Finally, this guide will discuss some ship routing and hurricane avoidance options with the intention
of highlighting critical thought processes, risk analyses and required actions that should be considered in order to remain safe and secure during the threat of a tropical cyclone at sea or in port.
