West coast marine weather hazards manual : a guide to local forecasts and conditions / Prepared by Seaconsult, Vancouver. Edited by Marianne Pengelly, Eldon Oja, and Owen Lange.: En56-74/1992E
Designed to help all mariners get the most out of Environment Canada's marine weather forecasts. It is not intended to be a textbook on marine meteorology but rather a clear, practical introduction to the local marine weather hazards on the West Coast. This manual describes the different ways that storms approach the coast and how the strong winds, high seas and weather which result from these storms, are modified by various coastal effects. Chapter six of the manual considers the specific areas which are known for marine weather related hazards.--Page 7
