Pilot charts, also referred to as routing charts, have been the most important passage planning tool since the mid 19th century. Much of the information contained in the pilot charts that are in use today is still based on those observations and, although they have been updated at regular intervals, the scarcity of reliable sources, inaccuracy of the observations, or the climate changes that have occurred over the years, have rendered some of the information shown on those charts to be now inaccurate. To present as true a picture as possible of the actual conditions which prevail in today's oceans, the charts in Cornell's Ocean Atlas are based on extensive data collected by meteorological satellites from 1987 to the present.
