Your vessel is participating in the Voluntary Observing Ship Program, you are preparing WS Form B-80 as seen in illustration D041NG below. The dry bulb thermometer reads 78°F and the wet bulb thermometer reads 75°F. How would you encode the air temperature groups in the report?

Question

Your vessel is participating in the Voluntary Observing Ship Program, you are preparing WS Form B-80 as seen in illustration D041NG below. The dry bulb thermometer reads 78&deg;F and the wet bulb thermometer reads 75&deg;F. How would you encode the air temperature groups in the report?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 10256, 2023/. World Meteorological Organization VOS program guidelines require converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, multiplying by ten, and encoding positive temperatures with a leading indicator of '1'. Dry bulb 78°F (25.6°C) and wet bulb 75°F (23.9°C) translate into groups 10256 and 2023/.
