🔍 Key Concepts

• Marine weather warnings issued by the National Weather Service and similar agencies • Difference between wind conditions and sea state (waves) • How terms like gale, storm, and hurricane are formally defined

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When meteorologists declare a 'gale' or a 'hurricane' warning, what specific measurement do they use to classify each category? • Think about whether cloud cover, rain amount, or wave height are used as primary thresholds, or if they are effects of another variable. • Consider what number value (with units) a mariner would most likely see on a forecast that determines whether a warning level is reached.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which element has specific numerical thresholds in knots or miles per hour for each warning type. • Check whether wave height or rain amount alone, without another factor, is enough to trigger an official gale/storm/hurricane warning. • Recall that Beaufort scale and Saffir–Simpson hurricane categories are fundamentally based on one key atmospheric quantity—identify that quantity.
