The MAROB Program is an experimental voluntary marine observation program of the National Weather

Service in the early stages of development. It seeks the participation of all mariners, both commercial and

recreational, which are not part of the more in-depth Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) program. It is the

goal of the program to collect as many marine observations as practicable, to improve the accuracy of

coastal, offshore and high seas forecasts, by taking advantage of technological advancements in marine

communications and the proliferation of the Internet.

Dakare sends data to MAROB by sending in YOTREPS via email when using Winlink/Airmail.
