Commercial and recreational use of waterways can be limited significantly by wind direction and speed, [[Ocean surface wave|wave]] periodicity and heights, tides, and precipitation. These factors can each influence the safety of marine transit. Consequently, a variety of codes have been established to efficiently transmit detailed marine weather forecasts to vessel pilots via radio, for example the [[MAFOR]] (marine forecast).<ref>Great Lakes and Seaway Shipping.
