ARCTIC. BEAUFORT SEA. DNC 27. CHART 15926. SCIENTIFIC MOORINGS, AT DEPTH 183 METERS AND ATTACHED BY 530 METER LONG LINE, ESTABLISHED IN: A. 70-52.18N 135-00.66W. B. 70-52.14N 135-01.15W.
Reading this warning
- DNC (Digital Nautical Chart)
- A reference to one of the regions of NGA's Digital Nautical Chart, used to tell the reader which charts a warning affects.
- Chart reference
- The number of the nautical chart on which the reported position lies.
- Scientific mooring
- Instruments anchored to the seabed and held up by floats, sometimes just below the surface, left for months to measure the ocean.
- Fish aggregating device (FAD)
- Floating rafts, nets and lines used by fishing fleets — hazards to propellers when they are adrift or unlit.
- Position (degrees and minutes)
- How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
