CANWARN Atlantic
Author: ve1jax (Site Admin)CANWARN Atlantic Standard Operating Guidelines
CANWARN is organised in local networks. When CANWARN members spot severe weather, they send their reports to the CANWARN network controller who forwards them to Environment Canada’s severe weather office in Toronto using either the special telephone line or this CANWARN web page. At the weather office, the severe weather meteorologist combines the data from the satellites and radar with the information from the ground to refine the forecast or prepare a severe weather watch or warning.
This is a draft of the manual that will be used. More information is on the Maritime Amateur website under CANWARN. Paste and copy what you like. Nothing is in stone, this is all to be looked at and modified. Yarmouth area stations would be very important during hurricanes and other storms as most will come ashore there first.
