NWR at USCG Sites in Alaska

National Weather Service Marine Products via NOAA Weather Radio at U.S. Coast Guard Sites in Alaska

To expand NOAA Weather Radio coverage in the State of Alaska, the National Weather Service (NWS) and the U.S. Coast Guard have partnered to establish a network of low-power five-watt NOAA Weather Radio transmitters at 24 USCG "high" sites located from the Dixon Entrance to Bristol Bay. These low power transmitters operate on standard NWR frequencies under joint licensing with the NWS. The NWS provides a continuous broadcast audio stream containing the standard NOAA Weather Radio weather information using the NWS automated voice system.

All NWS marine forecasts rely heavily on the Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) program for obtaining meteorological observations.
