A nephanalaysis is the analysis of a synoptic chart focusing on the types and amount of clouds and precipitation.[1] A nephanalysis can be used to avoid hazardous weather areas, by ships preparing routes for cruises, and to locate good fishing areas.[2] This technique is rarely performed nowadays, due to the prevalence of satellite imagery worldwide.[3]
