Reading this warning

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.
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.
