	Shipping Forecast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shipping Forecast is a regular feature of BBC Radio 4 (part of the BBC) and is provided by the UK Meteorological Office (part of MoD) on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (part of DfT).
		The Shipping Forecast is intended to be read at dictation speed to aid those who wish to write down the information, although recent changes to the schedule have resulted in generic weather presenters reading the forecast in the early morning, which can mean dictation speed is not always adhered to.
		Part of the Shipping Forecast's charm is that it is read by continuity announcers who are selected for their pleasant sounding voices and clear diction.

		At present, surface weather observations of temperature, wind, visibility, cloud, sunshine, rainfall and atmospheric pressure are made hourly, and sounding of the upper atmosphere, by radio-sonde balloons is carried out every 12 hours.

	Weather Doctor's Weather People and History: Cleveland Abbe: "Ol' Probabilities" of the US Weather Bureau
		Many consider him the true father of the US Weather Bureau where he spent his long career as meteorologist-in-charge from its establishment until his death in 1916 at the age of 78.
		Within the Signal Corps, Abbe organized the forecast division and soon began preparing those three-a-day synopses and "probabilities" of the weather, as weather forecasts were then.
		Although he remained with the US Weather Bureau until his death in 1916, the infirmities of advancing years prevented Abbe from taking a fully active part in the work of the Bureau in his final years.

	USATODAY.com - U.S., Russian icebreakers open path to Antarctic base (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — U.S. ships have delivered food, fuel and equipment to Antarctic science bases, despite fears they would not be able to pass through the ice pack formed behind the world's largest iceberg, the National Science Foundation says.
		A fuel tanker and cargo ship, following a 94-mile path cut by icebreakers through up-to 10-feet-thick ice, reached the pier at the U.S. McMurdo Station on McMurdo Sound, NSF spokesman Arthur Brown said.
		This year's icebreaking operations were more challenging for two reasons: the extent of the sea ice was much greater than in previous years, and only one Coast Guard icebreaker was available to perform the mission.
