Storm sections from mobile-ship, upper-air observations / Gordon McBean, research scientist, Atmospheric Environment Service, Institute of Ocean Sciences, Sidney, B.C.: En57-44/84-004E-PDF
"The joint Canadian Atmospheric Environment Service - U.S. National Weather Service - National Center for Atmospheric Research program, entitled the Automated Shipboard Aerological Program (ASAP), is aimed at developing a mobile system, using modern communications, data processing and automated electronics and other capabilities, to obtain upper air meteorological data over the oceans, from ships of opportunity, in a cost effective way. The feasibility studies started in April, 1982 used the MV Friendship, an automobile carrier on the Japan - West Coast North America run, as a trial platform. ... The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the quality and usefulness of the data by examining the data on two crossings."
