ALL CHARTS ARE MERCATOR PROJECTION EXCEPT DISK AND NEPAC! 
 
NOTES:	
 1. TROPICAL STREAM-FUNCTION ANALYSIS AND THE WIND/STREAM-FUNCTION PROG 
 CHARTS DISPLAY 1000MB STREAM FUNCTION LINES.  WIND SPEEDS IN KNOTS FOR 
 ALL LATITUDES MAY BE APPROXIMATED BY DIVIDING 50 BY THE SPACING BETWEEN 
 THE STREAM FUNCTION LINES EXPRESSED IN DEGREES OF LATITUDE.  THESE CHARTS, 
 COMPUTER GENERATED AT THE NATIONAL	CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PREDICTION 
 (NCEP), WASHINGTON, DC, ARE PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN THE TROPICS, WHERE 
 ISOBARIC SPACING AND WIND SPEED RELATIONSHIP BECOMES LESS MEANINGFUL.  
 ARROWS ON THE STREAM-FUNCTION ANALYSIS CHARTS DEPICT VELOCITIES IN KNOTS 
 OF LOWER CLOUDS DERIVED FROM SUCCESSIVE OBSERVATIONS BY SATELLITE.  
 CAUTION:  THESE CHARTS, BEING STRICTLY COMPUTER GENERATED, MAY NOT PROPERLY 
 DELINEATE SMALL, THOUGH INTENSE, SYSTEMS IN DATA-SPARSE AREAS.  TO 
 COMPENSATE, NOTES ARE MANUALLY ADDED TO DIRECT ATTENTION TO SUCH SYSTEMS 
 WHEN PRESENT.
 
 2. PACIFIC SURFACE ANALYSIS CHARTS, MANUALLY ANALYZED AT THE WEATHER SERVICE 
 FORECAST OFFICE IN HONOLULU DEPICT THE PRESSURE FIELD NORTH OF 15 NORTH AND 
 STREAM LINES (NOT STREAM FUNCTION LINES) SOUTH OF 15 NORTH.  WHILE THE STREAM 
 LINES DELINEATE GENERAL  DIRECTION OF WIND FLOW, THE SPACING BETWEEN THEM 
 IS NOT INDICATIVE OF WIND SPEEDS.
 
 3. THE SURFACE/THICKNESS PROG CHARTS, DEPICT 1000 MB STREAM FUNCTION LINES 
 (SOLID LINES) AND, CHIEFLY OF INTEREST TO METEOROLOGISTS, 1000-500MB THICKNESS 
 (DASHED LINES).
 
 4. THE SIGNIFICANT CLOUD FEATURES CHARTS ARE MANUALLY PRODUCED AT WSFO 
 HONOLULU.  THEY DEPICT BROAD FEATURES OF CLOUDS BASED UPON IMAGES FROM THE 
 VARIOUS GEO-STATIONARY AND POLAR ORBITING SATELLITES.  ABBREVIATIONS USED ON 
 THESE CHARTS INCLUDE: AC - ALTOCUMULUS; AS - ALOTSTRATUS; BKN - BROKEN; CB - 
 CUMULONIMBUS; CC - CIRROCUMULUS; CI - CIRRUS; CS - CIRROSTRATUS; CU - CUMULUS; 
 FEW - FEW; ISOL - ISOLATED; LYRS - LAYERS; NS - NIMBOSTRATUS; OVC - OVERCAST; 
 SC - STRATOCUMULUS; SCT - SCATTERED; TCU - TOWERING CUMULUS; TSTM - 
 THUNDERSTORM.
 
 5. THE 24HR 500MB CHARTS DISPLAY 500MB HEIGHTS (SOLID) AND VORTICITY LINES 
 (DASHED).
 
 6. THE SATELLITE IMAGES ARE INFRARED CLOUD PICTURES TRANSMITTED IN REAL TIME 
 AS THEY ARE BEING SCANNED BY GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE.
 
 7. OTHER HIGH SEAS MARINE WEATHER BROADCASTS FROM HAWAII: 
   * USCG RADIO NMO HONOLULU - SSB VOICE AT 0545, 1145, 1745 AND 2345 ON 
     2670 kHz, 6501 kHz, 8764 kHz, 13089 kHz.
   * +WWVH KAUAI, HAWAII - AM VOICE ON THE 48TH, 49TH, 50TH, 51ST MINUTE 
     OF EACH HOUR ON FREQUENCIES 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0 mHz.
 
 8. THESE RADIO FREQUENCIES ARE ASSIGNED FREQUENCIES.  TO CONVERT TO CARRIER 
 FREQUENCIES, SUBTRACT 1.9 kHz FROM THE ASSIGNED FREQUENCIES.
