Q.3 Why dangerous quardrant lies fwd half of the dangerous semicircle ?
1 ) + This is the forward half of the dangerous semi circle
+ The path of the TRS is likely to turn in this direction once attaining the latitude of
recurvature and thus
placing the vessel forward of the trough line. 19
+ The winds are strongest in this quadrant because of the steep pressure gradient due to the
closing up of the
isobars just prior to recurvature on the polar side
+ The direction of he wind is so as to move the vessel towards the storm centre and closer to
more violent
weather.

Q.4 WHY ARE CURRENTS STRONGER IN THE WEST ATLANTIC AS COMPARED TO EAST
ATLANTIC

2 ) gulf stream is a continuation of equatorial current. due to the shape of landmass of the
gulf of mexico, and the florida coast, the gulf stream is stronger than the currents of the east-
atlantic. the likes of canary currents and all.

Q.6 What was my vsl last sea speed , so now u r in Malacca straits , suddenly heavy rain
causing restricted visibility , action , what is your safe speed.
1 ) due to sudden rain / squall i will not reduce my speed unless visibility has been affected
by fog. i will though keep my engines on manouvering speed as malacca strait is a busy and
congested area for navigation

bhatiachaitanya (76)

2 ) restricted visibility condition also includes heavy rain moreover surveyor himself has said
that heavy rainfall has caused RV..that means vsl shall proceed at safe speed and shall have
her engines ready for immediate manoeuver

Q.12 WHAT IS HARMONIC CONSTANT.

1 ) O1, K1, M2, S2 in the tidal calculation by the harmonic method are the harmonic constant.
its constant for a port. the constant is based on a measurement by say a stick or something,
whose actual depth is known. then the height of tide is calculated according to that height.

Q.13 What is DGPS.

1 ) differential GPS - shore stations are equiped with DGPS programme. they provide ships
with small correction to the ship's position that may be necessary to get the exact position.
DGPS is nothing but an additional correction to the position obtained by GPS.

Q.17 WHAT IS BOAR TIDE.

1 ) a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or
waves) of water that travel up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river or bay's
