Naval Form Terminology
Hello everyone,
Context: A form where a ship´s information is written down. In this item in particular, they describe weather conditions. I see these must be standard naval terms in English but can´t find the official one for Spanish.
The term (in quotation marks):
Weather symbols:
"BKN"
My try:
I have no clue. Was thinking of leaving it as it is.
Thank you for any help.
