Sea-weather forecasts of the DWD
The German weather service (DWD) sends sea-weather forecasts on one
long and five short wave frequencies. With WIBE the reception of forecasts
for the next 24h, 2- and 5-days (in German and English language) are possible.

Weather charts of the DWD
In addition to the plain text sea-weather forecasts weather charts
in facsimile style are also sent. After receiving data from the german
weather service they are represented on the PC monitor.

NAVTEX of the costal radio stations
The equipment is able to receive world-wide the NAVTEX messages of
the costal radio stations on the frequencies 490 kHz and 518 kHz.
NAVTEX messages e.g. contain: Nautical warnings, distress messages,
weather forecasts, strom-warnings.
Synop/Ship messages from the DWD
The Synop messages are stored by the wetterinfobox and represented
as wind arrows in a pixel map on PC.
Barograph
The air pressure is noted during one period of maximally seven days.
The air pressure process can be indicated then on the PC.
