Q

Which is TRUE concerning weather information?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Sources of marine weather information commonly used by mariners • Difference between scheduled broadcasts and continuous broadcasts • Role of the National Weather Service (NWS) in marine forecasts

💭 Think About

• Think about all the different ways you’ve actually heard marine weather while on or near the water. Which of those are officially recognized sources? • Consider whether marine weather is limited to a single system, or if mariners are expected to use multiple redundant sources. • Ask yourself: does the exam usually focus on one specific best source, or on recognizing that several sources are valid?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which services provide official marine weather (hint: NWS plays a central role). • Check whether VHF-FM is specifically used for continuous marine weather broadcasts. • Consider if both scheduled marine information broadcasts and commercial radio can transmit weather, and whether the question is asking about all valid sources or just one.
