These pages show current 
        marine data from our own models and observational data worldwide. This 
        service is provided for the enjoyment of the marine/meteorological community 
        and is not intended for commercial purposes. Please read the FAQ 
        (Frequently Asked Questions) and the Legal 
        Terms and Conditions before viewing any of the data. 
      Please note that we 
        have removed all ship callsign references on the various images and no 
        longer produce text tables of marine observations. Additionally, all ship 
        traffic from specific regions has also been removed. This change is in 
        response to requests made by the Voluntary Observing Ship program. These 
        changes were implemented to preserve the transmission of ship data between 
        national weather centers as they are an invaluable source of marine data 
        which we apply in our global and regional forecast and hindcast modeling.
