An OTSR advisory is issued when which condition is met?

The situation is governed by weather thresholds. An OTSR advisory is issued when the observed wind and sea-state meet the predefined limits set for the operation. Those limits define the safe window for proceeding, so once the readings are within those specified bounds, the advisory is issued to authorize or indicate that conditions are acceptable for the planned activity. If the wind or seas exceed those limits, the advisory isn’t issued and the operation would typically be postponed or adjusted. The other options don’t reflect a weather-based safety criterion—advisories aren’t released merely on request, upon entering a route, or after a fixed time.
