NAVAREA XV covers the Pacific off Chile's long coast and toward Antarctica. The Chilean Navy's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service coordinates it, and Chilean coast radio stations originate many of its warnings.

Warnings here come from NGA HYDROPAC and HYDROLANT relays that name NAVAREA XV as their source.

The stations and services named as originators most often are AUSCOAST (5), COMCOGARD SECTOR GUAM (5), NAVAREA XV CX (5) and NAVAREA XV IF (3), among 24 in all.

The largest yearly count is 2023, with 221 warnings. Collection is incomplete between 2024-05 and 2026-08-17, so those years are not comparable.
