Meteorology

Read the weather, and route the ship around it. Why the Coriolis force makes wind blow ALONG the isobars, what DALR and SALR decide about the sky above you — and the one that matters most, the tropical revolving storm.

Try it here, no account

The storm, and the wind that will not cross the isobars

Tropical revolving storm — MT-05

The other half is navigable, which does not mean safe.

The full laboratory adds the track history, the 1-2-3 rule drawn on the chart, and the avoiding action derived rather than recited.

Pressure, wind and the Coriolis force — MT-01

Stand with your back to the wind: in the northern hemisphere the low is on your LEFT.

Set the latitude to zero. The lab will not give you a geostrophic wind, because at the equator there is not one.

Two doors, and you should take the right one.

A cadet or a serving officer starts free and is inside a laboratory in a minute. A college talks to us first, because enrolment and faculty tools need setting up properly.
